Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was a key opponent during negotiations between the NFL and Goodell and his contract extension. However, the league ultimately resolved to keep Goodell in place.
Speaking last February at his annual “state of the league” press conference, Goodell said he hasn’t “thought about retiring.” His deal expires after the 2023 season.
