Adam Silver has been approached by several NFL owners to become commissioner of their league.

"I'll just say I have not given it any thought," Silver told ESPN about his reaction to those job opportunities. "I feel very fortunate to be in this position. As a longtime fan, as a longtime league employee, the opportunity to become the commissioner of this league was beyond anything I even ever dreamed of as a kid.

"I've loved every day I've been in this job, and I think there's nothing but enormous opportunity ahead for this league. And ultimately, I realize I'm just passing through like every player who's gone through this league and ultimately like every owner, and I feel an enormous obligation to the fans and to this greater NBA family to do my best and try my hardest every day. But that's where 100 percent of my focus is."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell signed a five-year extension worth up to $200 million in December 2017. 

League revenues have increased from $4.8 billion to a projected $9.1 billion in Silver's five years.
