Roger Goodell is already one of the most overpaid people in the United States of America, in any industry – and now he’s asking for even more. The NFL commissioner has been locked in contentious contract negotiations with league owners since the off-season, and in light of the way the regular season has gone, things are more only getting more tense.

In spite of his mishandling of DeflateGate, the national anthem controversy and Ezekiel Elliott’s current suspension debacle, he apparently thinks he’s worth more than the league is currently offering.

According to ESPN, his salary since 2006 has topped $212 million, meaning that not only has he earned more than any player in the NFL in that time span, he’s also earned more than all but two people across every major North American sport.

Per ESPN, the last written counterproposal from Goodell sought about $49.5 million per year, the lifetime use of a private jet and lifetime health insurance for his family, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

The NFL’s executive vice president of communications, Joe Lockhart, denied that Goodell had submitted a counterproposal with those specific terms, but the original source maintains their claim, only clarifying that “Goodell’s monetary proposal was for $49.5 million.”

It’s worth noting that Goodell currently makes $30 million a year, and one owner told ESPN that Goodell’s request for nearly $50 million was too much.”It’s offensive. It’s unseemly,” the owner said.

There’s also the added issue of Jerry Jones, who Peter King reports has threatened to file a lawsuit if Goodell’s extension is completed without final review or approval from the league’s 32 teams. In doing so, Jones has turned the negotiations into something of a battle royale with not just the commissioner but also the NFL’s competition committee, which consists of six owners: chairman Arthur Blank (Falcons), Clark Hunt (Chiefs), Robert Kraft (Patriots), John Mara (Giants), Bob McNair (Texans) and Art Rooney II (Steelers).

“Are you telling us you’re prepared to file litigation against us?” committee member John Mara of the Giants asked, according to the source. Jones, a former disciple of the late, contentious Raiders owner Al Davis, said he was, per the source.

King reported that the members of the committee are up in arms over Jones’ threat, viewing it as the Cowboys owner carrying out a vendetta over Elliott’s suspension.

Still, in that fateful conference call Nov. 2, after Jones’ threat, the source with knowledge of the call said Patriots owner and committee member Robert Kraft told Jones words to this effect: Jerry, my franchise got killed for a BS incident with so-called deflated footballs. We lost our quarterback for 25% of the season. We got fined a million bucks. We lost first- and fourth-round picks. For hogwash! But I took it. My fans killed me for it, but I try to be a good partner.

The prevailing sentiment is that now that Jones’ team and star players have been personally affected by Goodell’s rogue sanctioning tactics, he wants him overthrown. One thing is for sure – this war between Jones and Goodell is one with no heroes.
