UNDATED (AP) – Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly ready to fight a proposed contract extension for Commissioner Roger Goodell.
A person with knowledge of the situation says Jones told the six owners on the compensation committee he had hired high-profile attorney David Boies and was prepared to sue if the group voted to extend Goodell’s deal. Jones has since been embroiled in a dispute sparked by Goodell’s six-game suspension of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott over alleged domestic violence.
All 32 owners voted in May to extend Goodell’s contract and authorized the compensation committee to work out the details.
