Report: NFL owners to meet Dec. 13 to discuss potential Goodell extension
The NFL's owners will hold an exclusive meeting to discuss Roger Goodell's potential contract extension on Dec. 13, Andrew Beaton of The Wall Street Journal reports.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been lobbying for a meeting due to his opposition to the commissioner.
A meeting was already scheduled for Dec. 13 but it will now include Jones' request to discuss his criticism of the extension.

Goodell's contract expires in 2018, and if extended, he'll remain in power through 2024.
"This is not the time for the League to undertake massive contractual obligations which are inconsistent with the League’s performance," Jones wrote in a letter contesting Goodell's extension.
Many believe Jones' opposition to Goodell's extended tenure is directly related to the league suspending Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott for a violation of the personal conduct policy. Jones has denied this notion.
