Jerry Jones says he won't sue NFL over Roger Goodell's contract

Last week, the NFL sent a letter to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones accusing hims of "conduct detrimental to the league" after Jones threatened to sue the other owners if they approved commissioner Roger Goodell's new contract.

But on Tuesday, Jones abruptly dropped the idea of a lawsuit. According to a letter from Jones to Falcons owner and chair of the compensation committee Arthur Blank obtained by the New York Times, Jones' initial concern was that only those owners on the compensation committee had a say in Goodell's contract; he wanted every owner to have "a voice in approving the terms." And now that, in Jones' view, the committee "is receiving valuable feedback from a number of owners," he is "standing down from my threat of litigation against the committee."

NFL needs to fire the Clinton crony Joe Lockhart who is there Director of Communication..

Joe Lockhart was Clinton’s Press Secretary during th Monica fiasco and the impeachment.

He rented his house in Washington DC to the Obamas when they moved from the WhiteHouse.

His wife is an Exectuive Editor with Glamour Magazine and Conde’ Nast, who also owns GQ Magazine. Thus the Colin Kaepernick GQ A-Hole of the Year..

Same Company owns the Alabama newspapers blasting Moore.

It’s all part of the swamps tentacles.
