According to the New York Times, Goodell is expected to fine Jones millions of dollars for his efforts to derail negotiations to renew Goodell’s contract, as well as for being so outspoken in his defense of Ezekiel Elliott following the NFL suspending him this past season.
The report says the punishment will come down in the coming weeks and Goodell will say Jones’s actions were detrimental to the league. In addition, Jones will be ordered to pay the legal fees for Goodell defending himself in regards to his status, as well as the legal expenses the NFL spent defending its decision to suspend Elliott.
Both the Cowboys and NFL didn't issue comment for the story.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/26/sports/football/roger-goodell-jerry-jones-nfl.htmlWith the support of many N.F.L. owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell is prepared to escalate his public feud with Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys and long one of the most influential people in the league, by fining him millions of dollars for his efforts to derail negotiations to renew Goodell’s contract and for his outspoken defense of a star player who was suspended, according to five league officials with direct knowledge of the situation.
The punishment will be issued in the coming weeks by Goodell, who will declare that Jones’s actions were detrimental to the league, which rarely shows such acute signs of acrimony among owners and the commissioner’s office. Goodell has been reluctant to be seen as exacting retribution for the way Jones tried to sabotage his contract talks, but he was urged to bring the penalties by several owners who believed that Jones had crossed an unspoken boundary by threatening his colleagues.
This back and forth between Goodell and JJ is constantly entertaining
