How much did he make in 2014? Even more than he made in 2013! $34.1 million according to Darren Rovell of ESPN.

That's a lot of money. But it's relatively in line with what Goodell generally makes.
Goodell's salary has been a thing for a while. In 2013 he made $35 million, which was less than he made in 2012 when his salary was $44.2 million.
People get all worked up about how much money Goodell makes but here's the bottom line: he runs a gigantic corporation that prints money and he's largely responsible for some of the printing.
Is he overpaid? Sure. Anyone who makes more than $30 million is probably overpaid. But relative to what the NFL brings in and the happiness of its owners, Goodell is probably making a pretty reasonable sum of money.
