Paul Tagliabue is seriously contemplating ending his 17-year run as NFL commissioner, league sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The sources say Tagliabue is expected to exercise a clause in his contract with league owners in which he becomes a "senior executive" consultant with a significant compensation package.

There has been recent speculation that Tagliabue's reign was in its final year or two, but the sources pinpointed the commissioner's decision as possible during the next 60 days. Tagliabue's current contract has two years remaining on it and it is believed to pay him between $8 million and $10 million through May 2008.

Now would be the best time to do it now that there is labor peace.

Tags has been the best commish in sports since he's been around. I read a piece in Sports Illustrated about him about a month and a half ago, he's quite an accomplished guy. The league has really flourished under his reign.
