Jerry Jones to Testify Monday in Appeal over $2M Legal Fees from Roger Goodell

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday he'll testify under oath in a Monday appeal hearing with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who wants Jones to cover legal fees the league incurred while finalizing the commish's new contract and defending the six-game suspension of Ezekiel Elliott.

Clarence Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram provided the update. Todd Archer of ESPN.com reported earlier in the week the NFL wants Jones to pay more than $2 million.

Jones had been warned by the league's compensation committee about conduct detrimental to the league after trying to prevent the completion of Goodell's extension, per Mark Maske of the Washington Post.
