NFL commissioner Roger Goodell met with a group of 20 to 25 prominent players and owners Tuesday night at the league’s New York headquarters to discuss players protesting during the national anthem, Giants linebacker Jonathan Casillas told NJ.com.
The list of owners included Goodell allies John Mara, Robert Kraft and Art Rooney II, along with Jeffrey Lurie, Stephen Ross and Jimmy and Dee Haslem. Shad Khan, who joined his Jaguars players on the sideline Sunday in London, was also there.
The players present included Casillas, Eagles defensive Chris Long and brothers Devin and Jason McCourty, defensive backs for the Patriots and Browns, respectively.
