Jerry Jones Says NFL Owners Will Talk Roger Goodell's Contract in Dec. Meeting

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones isn't throwing in the towel as the NFL's compensation committee works to finalize a new contract for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Pro Football Talk's Charean Williams reported Thursday that Jones believes all 32 owners will discuss Goodell's extension when they meet Dec. 13 in Irving, Texas.

"That's for sure," Jones said of the meeting. "And I don't want to speak for the circumstances are, but it is going to be firm, solid, an owners-only session that was called specifically for these issues."

It looked as though Jones was relenting in his resolve to insert himself into the contract negotiations.
