The NFL compensation committee has denied Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' request for another vote to approve Roger Goodell's extension offer, reports Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.
Owners voted unanimously to approve a potential extension last May, though Jones has since gone public with his desire not to re-sign the current commissioner, threatening to sue the league over the matter.
In a letter from the competition committee to Jones, obtained by Beaton, the league reiterated its view that his threat to sue "reflects conduct unbefitting an owner and is damaging to the League."
Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, the chair of the competition committee, wrote in the letter that Jones was ignoring the truth to satisfy his personal agenda. The competition committee removed Jones from his non-voting position on the board in early November.
