Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will not sue fellow National Football League owners to try to block Commissioner Roger Goodell's contract extension, according to a report.
"I told the committee that I was standing down on legal action because they wanted to get input from all of the owners," Jones told USA Today Sports.
Jones added that he wants all owners — not just the six on the compensation committee — to have a say in negotiations for the commissioner's annual pay.
After Sunday's 37-9 loss to Philadelphia, Jones said he wants "unprecedented accountability to the ownership" while suggesting a review of Goodell's power to punish players under the collective bargaining agreement.
