Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has threatened to sue the National Football League if a contract extension for commissioner Roger Goodell is approved by the league's compensation committee, sources told Outside the Lines.
A team owner and a team executive told Outside the Lines that Jones has hired David Boies, the famed New York lawyer who represented Vice President Al Gore in the deadlocked 2000 presidential election -- and who led the NFL's court case during a dispute over the 2011 collective bargaining agreement negotiations. More recently, Boies defended Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein against sexual assault allegations.
A person who spoke recently with Goodell said the commissioner is "furious" about Jones' and other owners' insistence that his next contract's compensation should be more performance-based, including incentives that would allow him to be paid at roughly the same level of his current deal. "He feels as if the owners have made a lot of money and he should be compensated accordingly," the source said. "The incentives thing really angers him."
Jerry Jones of Dallas Cowboys threatens to sue NFL over Roger Goodell
Roger Goodell will get what he deserves. He completely screwed his friend Robert Kraft who was much more cordial than Jerry Jones is behaving right now.
The Hawks are beginning to circle Mr. Goodell: Papa John, Jerry Jones, and more. You cannot suspend players and punish teams for bogus charges! Roger Goodell has been taking notes from Democrats and their witchhunt against Trump's connection to Russia.
You cannot IMPEACH Trump on bogus charges. Goodell has been suspending players and punishing teams based little/no evidence!
IMO Jerry Jones will win because he has the support of the President of the United States and I'm guessing many more owners. With NFL ratings TANKING, his failure in leadership during the anthem, deflategate, Ray Rice, etc....Mr. Goodell's time is ticking.
