FRISCO, Texas -- Later Monday in Palm Beach, Florida, Jerry Jones will attempt to change Roger Goodell’s mind.
In effect, Jones will feel what a player facing the NFL commissioner’s judge-and-jury power feels.
At stake is more than $2 million, a mere pittance to the Dallas Cowboys’ owner and general manager, but his fight is about principle and precedent. It’s one of the reasons Jones fought against Goodell’s contract extension.
The NFL is seeking the reimbursement of legal fees in excess of $2 million incurred in Ezekiel Elliott’s fight of a six-game suspension as well as in the threat of a lawsuit to block Goodell’s contract extension.
