Despite previous reports, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is not impeding on commissioner Roger Goodell's contract negotiations, according to Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, as reported by Peter King of the MMQB.com.
"The speculation is incorrect. He is not impeding it," Blank said. "I got a note from him the other day. He’s comfortable with where we are.”
A report surfaced Sunday morning that indicated Jones was the main reason for the holdup in getting Goodell's new contract signed.
It was reported on Aug. 21 that Goodell was nearing a five-year extension through 2024, with his current contract set to end in 2019.
