The feud between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Jerry Jones will hit the longtime Dallas Cowboys owner in the pocketbook.

According to a report in the New York Times on Monday, Goodell is prepared to fine Jones millions of dollars for conduct detrimental to the league.

The Washington Post said Jones will be fined $2 million for his attempt to derail a contract extension for Goodell. The post said Jones had been warned by the competition committee that his action was "detrimental."

The New York Times reported several owners support the fine against Jones and that the commissioner pursued the action after they believed that Jones had "crossed an unspoken boundary by threatening his colleagues."

Jones also will be fined for his outspoken defense of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott, who was suspended for six games for a domestic violence incident.

Neither side commented to the Times, which cited league officials as its sources in the report.

In November, Jones said he was prepared to sue the six owners serving on the league's compensation committee.

The league's compensation committee includes owners of the Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons, New York Giants, New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans.

The Times said that Jones will also have to pay legal fees incurred by the competition committee defending itself along with the NFL's legal fees during the decision to defend the Elliott suspension.

Elliott was suspended in August and Jones said he did not deserve to get penalized for an incident that occurred while at Ohio State. After a back-and-forth court battle, the second-year running back's on-again, off-again suspension was reinstated on Nov. 9. Three days later, Elliott accepted the punishment.

While Elliott was appealing, Jones was trying to persuade league owners that Goodell's contract extension should be significantly less than what was proposed, the Times said.

In November, Jones told his fellow owners that he was prepared to sue to stop them from finalizing Goodell's deal.

Jones eventually backed down on his threats of a lawsuit but during a league meeting in December, he was criticized for his behavior by other owners. Most of those owners agreed to give Goodell a five-year extension that could pay him as much as $200 million.
