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.
The Associated Press has obtained a letter sent by the NFL to Jerry Jones' attorney accusing the Dallas Cowboys owner of "conduct detrimental to the league's best interests" over his objection to a contract extension for Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Ezekiel Elliott is eligible to return to the field on Christmas Eve against the Seattle Seahawks.
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.
The Jones family aren't taking a report calling for their ouster from the NFL very seriously.
Is there anyway Jerry Jones could be forced to give up the Dallas Cowboys? According to a new report this morning, it could happen.
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."
A three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has denied Ezekiel Elliott's motion for an emergency injunction.
Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott skipped his weekly media session on Wednesday because of his fight over the NFL's six-game suspension on alleged domestic violence.
Elliott's fight with his own league has obviously ruffled the feathers of his boss, Jerry Jones.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is going all in to block NFL owners from giving Commissioner Roger Goodell a new contract.
For the second consecutive week, the Cowboys will conduct at least one practice without their star running back.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has scheduled a three-judge panel to hear Ezekiel Elliott's request for an injunction on Thursday.
Now it's time for another week of legal limbo after Elliott rushed for 93 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in a 28-17 victory against the Chiefs on Sunday.
Dallas Cowboys running back defended himself once again on Friday and said he isn't an abuser.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was very upbeat in his appearance with the G-BAG Nation on 105.3 The Fan Friday.
Sales growth at Papa John's is slowing, and the pizza chain is blaming it on the outcry surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
Sources tell The Fan's Mike Fisher that there are higher-ups in the Elliott camp who "know nothing'' about reports of a settlement between the player (represented by the NFLPA) and the league (which continues to push for the enforcement of a six-game suspension).
Beginning this week and continuing throughout the NFL season, football fans will be surprised during tailgates, or at stadiums, and even at their homes as part of the Super Bowl Ticket Giveaway.
The NFL is not changing its national anthem policy to require players to stand during the national anthem.
