Jerry Jones says everything he has done to this point in his battle with the NFL over Roger Goodell's contract extension has been in the league's best interests.

When it comes to extending the contract of the NFL Commissioner, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes there is no rush to get it done. "Roger has almost 18 months left. We've got all the time in the world to evaluate what we're doing, and all the time in the world to extend him," said Jones.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says his objection to a contract extension for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is not because of star running back Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension over alleged domestic violence.
That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to Europe, of course, or that he's "vacationing.'' But in this gallows-humor moment for the Cowboys, trying to build on their 5-3 record without their MVP candidate, the jokes tell themselves.
Jones said on his radio show Friday he wants all 32 owners to have a chance to approve the deal being negotiated between Goodell and the compensation committee that includes six owners. Jones is not on the committee.
"We've given him (Roger Goodell) a lot of power," said Jones. "I think we need the checks and balances of ownership to be in a position to not just suggest, but approve of his decisions."
