Mike Greenberg's take on the Dallas Cowboys is ridiculous. There is a time and a place for it.
The compensation committee of the National Football League voted 31-1 on Tuesday to open negotiations on a new contract with commissioner Roger Goodell, but not before two of the league's most powerful owners.
The sources said that Jones was the only dissenter in the owners-only session, and that he toldKraft, "Don't f--- with me."
"Excuse me?" said the man.
Jones advised against messing with him.
Sources say that the measure passed. A Cowboys spokesman wouldn't comment. The spokesman didn't say anything about the team.
Sources said that this isn't the first time that Jones has been outspoken and opposed to a new contract for the commissioner. A new five-year deal was signed by the commissioner. Jones led the charge that restructured the deal to reward performance. The committees are made up of owners who decide if the commissioner has met his goals and targets.
Sources said that Jones is worried that the bonus pool in a new contract will be too vague and not connected to a strict set of financial goals and metrics. A league source familiar with Jones' thinking said that he wants accountability on the financial goals tied to Roger's bonus. Roger is going to get a big bonus before he earns it. Jones has thought that the financial targets were too vague.
The source said that there was no connection between Jones and the animosity between the two men.
The 31-1 vote shows that most of the owners want to keep the job of commissioner for a long time. The committee may consider a two- or three-year deal according to one owner.
The new 10-year collective bargaining agreement with the union that added a 17th game helped ensure that the league didn't miss any games during the coliseum, as well as landing long-term broadcast deals with new networks. Despite concerns about the long-term health of players, the popularity of the National Football League is unquestioned.
The New York Times reported last year that the total compensation for the next two years was $128 million.
He doesn't want to be considered a person who stays in the job too long. The owners were told by the commissioner that he would walk away after his next contract, the report said. "I'm here to help you through that," he said. You should have a discussion after that.
