A copy obtained of the league's tax return confirms the commissioner earned $29.49 million in 2011. The league's general counsel Jeff Pash, who also reduced his salary to $1 during the lockout, came away with $8.8 million in total compensation.
"The NFL is the most successful and best-managed sports league in the world," Falcons owner Arthur Blank said in a statement obtained by The Sports Business Daily. "This is no small part due to Roger's leadership and the value he brings to the table in every facet of the sport and business of the league. His compensation reflects that."
And to make things worst, seems that the cap is not going up in the following years:

When I see this, plus the immaculate power given to Goodell with the labor agreement, I wonder what the hell were De Smith and the NFLPA thinking on rushing to sign that contract, and in those terms.
10 years of piece, I don't think so!
That's $29,489,999.99 too much.

The smoothing phenomenon is more likely to unfold even in 2015 because, in 2012, money from future cap years was shifted to a year in which the cap was poised to drop, due to the revenue decreases from 2011, the year of the lockout. (Even though only one game was missed during to the lockout, months of uncertainty affected fan and sponsor spending during the offseason shutdown.)
I declare shenanigans. It sounds like total BS, because the cap is based exclusively off of the TV money. Which I don't believe was effected at all by the lockout. The owners may have lost "some" money from that (and I emphasize some), but that's on them. It shouldn't have effected the cap at all. And I don't remember any games being missed either (not even a preseason game).
That's not true. It's all NFL revenue. So, merch from NFL.com, ticket sales, etc.

The players used to get 51%, then it dropped to around 48%. The cap has always had the ability to decrease, if the NFL's popularity and/or profit decreased in any year. So, in order to make sure this new "era" started off right, the NFL and Players Association OK'ed the idea to borrow against future cap figures to keep it from dropping last year.
Basically, they only hurt themselves about 2-3M this or next year. It's not some crazy drastic number.
