Report: Jerry Jones Hiring Lawyer David Boies, Could Sue Over Roger Goodell’s Contract Extension

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is considering suing the NFL and other team owners over contract negotiations to extend commissioner Roger Goodell's contract, The New York Times reports.

Jones reportedly told several other NFL owners that he hired prominent lawyer David Boies to represent him. The New Yorker reported this week that Boies did legal work for movie executive Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of rape and sexual harassment by multiple women.

Jones has been upset with Goodell over a six-game suspension for Ezekiel Elliott's violation of the league's domestic violence policy.
