Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks was critical of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's salary in a tweet Tuesday. 

A tax filing from the NFL revealed Goodell made $34.1 million in 2014. Goodell made $35 million the year before and $44 million in salary in 2012. Tuesday, Marks criticized Goodell for making his salary while others complain about players seeking raises.

Marks was a second-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2009. He signed a four-year contract extension with $5 million in guaranteed money with the Jaguars before the 2014 season.

Goodell took over as the NFL’s commissioner in September 2006. His salary is determined by the league’s compensation committee, which is made up of a group of NFL owners.
