sources close to the situation told ESPN that several NFL owners have tried to persuade Silver to run their league over the course of his five years as the NBA's commissioner.


Hopefully Goodell is on his way out!

thats very old news and it was before he got a big new contract to stay

then goodell got his insane stupidly overpaid new contract

this means nothing and goodell is going no where despite how much we would all love him gone

we can only hope after the superbowl rigging scandal and if the NFL loses it arse off subsidizing LA then and only then maybe they will fire him

Yeah, Goodell signed a 5 year extension in 2017, but this at least shows some owners want Goodell replaced. That's a good start to getting him out of there!

Replacing one idiot trying to screw a New Orleans team with another doing the same thing? No, thanks.

David Stern should be NFL commissioner. He looked out for New Orleans in the past.

First round of the draft would be a whole lot more entertaining too...

Look at how the NBA is run currently. You guys might not care for the way Goodell has run things as of late, but y'all would hate the NFL so much more with Silver running it

Silver is even worse with his handcuffing of the Pels in this AD situation. He's been a mediocre to bad Commish for the NBA.

the fact that the NBA (which... in essence... means Silver) warned the Pelicans to play AD or face a large fine makes me hesitate to want Silver running the NFL

the equivalent of making a couple that's agreed they aren't right for each other and broke up continue to live together even though they now are starting to hate each other's guts

Adam Silver looks like the guy in the painting American Gothic

Didn’t they just extend his contract?

Silver takes over the NFL and suddenly the Cowboys acquire Aaron Donald, Patrick Mahomes, Antonio Brown, Von Miller, JJ Watt and Khalil Mack and win 4 titles in 5 years.

Goodell is not a leader, but merely a stooge who does the owner's bidding.

The league would be well served by someone who can, well, lead, and not serve as an overpaid order-taker.

shite, I bet Condi Rice would be an effective commissioner because she'd actually have the moral fiber to lead.

Not an upgrade.

Condi Rice for the win.

Reading the underlying reports it seems like they are based off of the representative of only one owner approaching Silver sometime in the past. Probably Jerry Jones. Not that there is necessarily some concerted effort by any sizable group of NFL owners to replace him.
