Jerry Jones asked for a hearing with Roger Goodell to contest the NFL's attempt to make Jones reimburse the more than $2 million in legal fees the compensation committee accrued while Jones tried to stop Goodell's contract extension during the season, Mark Maske of The Washington Post reports.
According to Maske, it is not clear when the hearing would happen, and the league and Cowboys executive and Jones' son, Stephen, declined to comment to The Post.
Jones threatened to sue the league over the five-year contract extension Goodell was receiving, and the league is seeking repayment for its legal expenses on the basis of a 1997 resolution that makes owners pay for legal costs for both sides if they take legal action against the league, according to Maske.
