There was speculation recently that Roger Goodell's job as commissioner could be in jeopardy due to how he's taken on both Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft during high profile suspensions.

But Goodell is on the cusp of a contract extension.

Ownership sources say Goodell's job was never in danger and he's trying to follow protocol on the Ezekiel Elliott situation.

Some owners feel that Jones has been "beyond out of line" a few times recently, never more than last October, when he yelled at NFL executive Lisa Friel at a hotel bar over the Elliott investigation.

Goodell is likely to remain in the job until he's at least 65 (2024).
