Goodell: $1 salary if there's work stoppage

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he will cut his salary to $1 if there is a work stoppage after the collective bargaining agreement expires in March.

Goodell, who makes about $10 million a year, including bonuses, said in a staff memo yesterday that chief negotiator Jeff Pash will do the same. Pash makes nearly $5 million a year.

Goodell also has asked the league's compensation committee to delay any bonus payments to him until after a deal is reached with the NFL Players Association.

Union chief DeMaurice Smith has predicted the NFL will lock out the players after the March 4 expiration of the contract with the league.
