NFL Owners Jerry Jones And Robert Kraft Reportedly Get Heated After Jones Tells Kraft ‘Don’t F With Me’ At Owners’ Meeting

The NFL owners’ meeting reportedly got pretty heated on Tuesday.

According to ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones cursed at Pats owner Robert Kraft and told him “don’t f— with me” during an argument about Roger Goodell’s contract negotiations.

NFL owners voted 31-1 on Tuesday to permit their compensation committee to open negotiations on a new contract with commissioner Roger Goodell, but not before two of the league’s most powerful owners, the Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones and New England Patriots’ Robert Kraft, engaged in a heated exchange, multiple league and ownership sources told ESPN.

The sources said Kraft joined the overwhelming majority in strong support for the measure, with Jones the lone dissenter in the owners-only session, eventually telling Kraft, “Don’t f— with me.”

Kraft replied, “Excuse me?”

“Don’t mess with me,” Jones said.

The measure then passed, sources said. The NFL and a Cowboys spokesman declined comment. A Patriots spokesman didn’t immediately provide a comment from the team.

Apparently, Jones disagreed with the other owners on specific terms regarding Goodell’s future bonuses in his new contract.

Jones is concerned that the triggers for Goodell’s proposed bonus pool in a new contract will be too vague and not connected to a strict set of financial goals and metrics without a more rigorous review, sources said.

The 31-1 vote signals that most owners want Goodell, who has been in the job since 2006, to continue as commissioner for the foreseeable future — and that he wants to continue in that role. One owner told ESPN that the committee might consider a two- or three-year deal.

Fans reacted to the news of beef between the two NFL owners.
