He threatened to sue them all for enacting a contract he voted to approve. It’s not really protecting Goodell at this point, it’s protecting themselves. Jones needs to grow up, yeah his player got suspended, yeah maybe it’s an overreach from the commish, but I didn’t see him (or Bob Kraft) throwing hissy fits when Brady got hit last year.
From the linked article.....
Jones had been extremely critical over many of Goodell’s decisions, and was vocal over this mishandling of the players’ protests during the national anthem.
Jones decided to put his money where his mouth is, and hired an attorney in an attempt to stop negotiations for Goodell’s lucrative contract renewal.
RENEWAL contract - NOT current contract.
Oh, and Jones isn't the one who needs to grow up. The lefty players, Goodell and the NFL are.
