NEW YORK (March 20, 2006) -- Paul Tagliabue is retiring as NFL commissioner in July after more than 16 years on the job.
The 65-year-old league leader has been in charge since 1989, when he succeeded Pete Rozelle, and agreed last March to stay to complete the television and labor deals.
He finally got that done 12 days ago, finishing the most arduous labor negotiations since the league and union agreed on a free agency-salary cap deal in 1992.
"I believe that now is a positive time to make the transition to a new commissioner," Tagliabue said in a statement.
