According to the Wall Street Journal, a letter from the league, which was shared with the league’s 32 owners, was sent to Jones’ attorney David Boies and said that Jones’ “antics, whatever their motivation, are damaging the League.” This comes after Boies sent another letter on Tuesday saying that Jones had a document that shows that certain statements made about Goodell’s negotiations “are not accurate.”

League owners have discussed Jones’ removal, according to the WSJ. His removal would have to be based on conduct that would be detrimental to the league, which was covered in the aforementioned letter from the NFL to Boies.

looks like Jones blinked :

Jerry Jones Withdraws Threat of Lawsuit vs. NFL over Roger Goodell Contract
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has opted not to sue the NFL after he threatened to take legal action against the league over commissioner Roger Goodell's impending contract extension.

According to the New York Times' Ken Belson, Jones sent a letter to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank—who is the chairman of the league's compensation committee—on Tuesday informing him that he is "standing down from my threat of litigation against the committee."

The decision comes after Jones tinkered with the idea of filing a lawsuit because he wanted all owners—and not just the six on the compensation committee—to have a voice with regard to the terms of Goodell's contract extension.

Citing the letter, Belson reported Jones told Blank he was withdrawing the threat now that the committee "is receiving valuable feedback from a number of owners."

For the most part the NFL owners are bunch of rich assholes with more money than brains.
There is a GM named Poles
Who has a clear set of goals
He’s rebuilt his team
So Bears’ fans can dream
Of winning some more Super Bowls

Jerry Jones is to Rodger Goodell as Al Davis was to Pete Rozelle
