Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has agreed to reimburse the NFL for more than $2MM in legal fees, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (Twitter link). The league’s owners said expenses incurred as a result of Jones’ threat to sue the NFL.
“After a hearing with the Commissioner and the Finance Committee, the matter of the reimbursement of legal fees has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties,” the league said in a statement.
Jones, of course, expressed his unhappiness with the league over commissioner Roger Goodell‘s now-completed contract extension, as well as the NFL’s decision to suspend Cowboys running Ezekiel Elliott for six games following domestic violence accusations. While Jones never actually sued the league, he’s still required to pay for not only his own legal expenses, but those of the NFL, as well. The league’s competition committee warned Jones of such an outcome in a November letter.
Goodell himself met with Jones in Florida on Monday night, reports David Moore of the Dallas Morning News, allowing the Cowboys owner to make his case as to why he shouldn’t be forced to reimburse the league.
Hahaha
How bout selling the cowboys Jones. All your decisions are way to personal. (Romo) (dez) It’s about time the cowboys start winning. It starts by having you to sell the team!!
You are an idiot. Man put together the best team in NFC last yea, not his fault his rb beats woman
Best team in the NFC and you’re calling someone else an idiot? Lol
He needs to hire a General Manager to take care of personnel decisions.
I can picture Roger checking under his car or installing metal plates on the floor boards, like the movie Casino.
Such bs. Goodell is a pos and only care about money not the players. I fully support jones wanting to remove him. Thank god he’s already stated I’ll retire after making 300 mill as a commish. One of the worst ever!
Since the commissioner works for the owners, why would you think he’d side with players. He’s a puppet for the owners to be the bad face opposed to the owners looking bad is all
Hey Arthur Blank..how is Roger Goodell’s head game? on point?
“How you gonna pay these guys Jerry?”
“Straight cash homie… What’s 2 mil….to me?”
In stead of paying 2 million back the NFL shoulda told Jerry to just to fork over the Cowboys and everything Cowboys related and told him to go back to Arkansas and never return to anything NFL at all. But the NFL seems it don’t have balls enough to stand up and tell Jerry and say good bye forever. There will never be anything original Cowboys again as long as Jones has his greedy hands and nose all up in the NFL.
