There is strong and increasing sentiment among NFL owners that league leaders should take disciplinary action against Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, although that would not include attempting to strip Jones of his franchise, according to multiple people familiar with the deliberations.
Potential disciplinary measures against Jones if he’s deemed guilty of conduct detrimental to the league could include a fine, a suspension or the loss of a Cowboys’ draft pick or picks.
It is not clear exactly how many of the other owners favor taking action against Jones but the group that supports such a move is said to include some of the league’s most influential owners, according to those with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the threat of litigation.
