Jerry Jones really doesn't want Roger Goodell to be NFL commissioner anymore.

Jones is threatening to sue the NFL and some pro-Goodell owners over the negotiations to extend the commissioner's contract, according to a New York Times report. Jones also is enlisting David Boies to litigate.

The New Yorker reported this week that Boies was helping Harvey Weinstein use private investigators to run interference for him on a New York Times article exposing more of Weinstein's alleged sexually predatory activity. Boies was also under contract for legal counsel with the Times, but he was quickly fired after the report became public.

Jones has declared war on Goodell since the NFL commissioner suspended Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott for six games after a series of domestic violence accusations from an ex-girlfriend. Jones has steadfastly supported Elliott, whose suspension has been put on hold and back on again several times while the case makes it way through the legal system. The next hearing is on Thursday.

Jones told the owners of six NFL teams this past Thursday — the Chiefs, Falcons, Giants, Patriots, Steelers and Texans — that legal papers were ready and would be served this Friday if the committee did not scrap its plans to extend Goodell's contract, according to the Times.

Jones had reportedly rallied 16 other owners behind him and had a conference call last month to figure out a way to scrap the extension. But Jones needs 24 owners to support it and this appears to be his plan to get the rest in line.

"You don't get to have this many messes over the years like Roger has had and survive it," an owner said during the call, according to ESPN.com.

Jones has long been one of the most powerful NFL owners, and he's been in the middle of the league's most discussed issue this season — the national anthem protests. Players have called him out for saying that any who kneel will not play, and was implicated in his Papa John's pal John Schnatter's attack on the NFL and the protests hurting their pizza sales. Jones also painted Texans owner Bob McNair as a victim after racially insensitive remarks connected to the anthem protests.
