Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has opted not to sue the NFL after he threatened to take legal action against the league over commissioner Roger Goodell's impending contract extension.
According to the New York Times' Ken Belson, Jones sent a letter to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank—who is the chairman of the league's compensation committee—on Tuesday informing him that he is "standing down from my threat of litigation against the committee."
The decision comes after Jones tinkered with the idea of filing a lawsuit because he wanted all owners—and not just the six on the compensation committee—to have a voice with regard to the terms of Goodell's contract extension.
