Ladies and gentlemen of the NFL compensation committee, thank you for joining this teleconference. I know you are all very busy people. I appreciate the time you have allotted me on such short notice.
The subject we will discuss is the recent proposal of a new contract for Roger Goodell, our commissioner. His request for $50 million per year, also a lifetime health care policy for himself and his family, also private jet travel for life, I believe to be outrageous for a man who in fact is nothing more than a highly compensated clerk.
There are many people I am aware of capable of doing the position for $15 million or $20 million. Roger needs to understand he is not making the contribution of a Tom Brady or an Alex Smith. They both contribute value to the league, they are not simply overhead, and do their jobs for considerably less in compensation.
It is my recommendation that we not only deny his request but terminate Goodell upon completion of his present contract. As the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Football, Inc., I, Jerry Jones, present my thoughts for your consideration.
Stuart Young, Sandy
