Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a bone to pick with Roger Goodell and he’s not letting up anytime soon. Jones is threatening to sue the NFL and some of his fellow owners over talks to extend Goodell’s contract, two people with direct knowledge of the situation tell Ken Belson of the New York Times.
Last week, Jones informed the owners on the league’s compensation committee that he has hired famed lawyer David Boies to represent him. The majority owners of the Chiefs, Falcons, Giants, Patriots, Steelers, and Texans all serve on the committee. Jones has effectively shoehorned his way into the group, though he does not carry a vote since he is not an official member.
Goodell’s extension was reported to be near completion months ago. It has been greatly delayed, however, and Jones appears to be the driving force behind the roadblock. The Cowboys owner is livid at Goodell over the pending six-game ban of Ezekiel Elliott and he is determined to make him pay.
I don’t understand the power Jones has. Why don’t they tell him to go kick sand
$$$
Go jerry go. Stand up to the bully
Yeah you can’t have Roger drive the dirt bags out of the league because Jerry needs these guys to sign feels roster and fill his roster.
Dirt bags I’m sorry your so perfect.
This league is a joke
Jones is as big a moron as Goodell.
He’s not a official member so he has no day so. This is stupid! This is just a case of someone with too much money and use to everything going their way so he’s throwing a damn temper tantrum. Guy needs a taste of reality and needs to grow up although that won’t happen. Can’t believe ae are still easing about
* can’t believe we are still reading about him trying to block his extension when he has no real say so and now he wants to sue. Unbelievable
Obviously he does or the extension would’ve been signed
Yea but how?? He isn’t even a official member! I just don’t get it.
The league is essentially a single front for the individual owners. Just because he’s not officially on a committee doesn’t mean he can’t have any influence in the process.
Suing. That’s how. Did you not read the beginning? Lol
Kaepernick is suing too, maybe they should get together and fight as one
Hahahahaha, all because his star RB agents suspended. What a POS
