NFL owners have reportedly brought up the idea of Dallas Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones forfeiting the franchise.

On Sunday, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk cited a league source who said "multiple owners already have been discussing the possibility, which flows from Article VIII of the NFL's Constitution and Bylaws."

One of the sections of the article allows the commissioner to essentially force the forfeiture of a team if the owner "has been or is guilty of
conduct detrimental to the welfare of the league or professional football" and a $500,000 fine is deemed "not adequate or sufficient."

Florio granted such a move "would trigger years of litigation" and
explained the notion of applying it to Jones specifically "comes from the belief among owners that Jones instigated Papa John's CEO John Schnatter
to disparage the NFL, blaming league leadership for ratings declines and,
in turn, a reduction in Papa John's revenues."

The news comes after a period of time when Jones' name and the Cowboys
were in plenty of NFL headlines.

His team's star running back, Ezekiel Elliott, started his six-game suspension stemming from a domestic violence investigation Sunday during Dallas' 27-7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The ongoing case has been
litigated throughout the NFL season and will continue to be moving
forward.

SURE.... ONE YARD FORWARD AND 2 YARDS BACKWARD.

TAKE A KNEE!
