NFL held an owners-only meeting in Arizona
Florio suggests a larger group of owners reviewing Goodell's compensation might want to reduce it.
Apparently marijuana usage and off-field investigations were also raised by Jones.
Irsay agreed about marijuana usage, and escalated by proposing cocaine be allowed as well (just kidding).
Every league meeting includes a variety of sessions attended by a variety of people. Last week in Arizona, one specific session included only the owners.
Unusual but not unprecedented, the owners-only meeting (technically an executive session of the Finance and Compensation Committees) focused in part on discussions regarding Commissioner Roger Goodell’s next contract and succession planning, based on a potential transition that would be initiated by Goodell after the next labor deal and TV contracts are finalized. The owners-only meeting also included an opportunity for any and all owners to speak about any and all topics they chose.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke extensively during the meeting, per a source with direct knowledge of the session. As a source close to Jones explained it to PFT, Jones knows from experience that most of the membership will choose not to speak up in those situations. Jones decided to introduce topics about which he and other owners have questions or concerns.
