All NFL personnel will be reimbursed for salary reductions during the lockout.

Commissioner Roger Goodell sent an email Tuesday to employees of the league, NFL Films, NFL Network and NFL.com telling them they will receive all lost wages from the work stoppage. All salaries will be restored to previous levels.

Goodell himself reduced his salary to $1 during the 4 1/2-month lockout, as did lead counsel Jeff Pash. Goodell earns about $10 million a year, including bonuses, and Pash nearly $5 million.

Seven teams also cut salaries or enforced furloughs during the work stoppage. All of them say they will make good on the lost wages.
