NFL Commissioner: No timetable on Steve Ross investigation stemming from Brian Flores lawsuit

PALM BEACH, Fla. — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said there is no timetable in the league’s investigation into claims made by former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores that team owner Steve Ross offered him financial incentive to lose games as one of many allegations in his class-action lawsuit against the league and multiple teams.

Goodell, speaking at The Breakers in Palm Beach as the NFL’s annual meeting concluded on Tuesday, deferred to Mary Jo White, who is the former chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a former U.S. District Attorney and is leading the investigation, when asked for an update.

“I’m not doing that investigation,” Goodell said. “Mary Jo White is doing that investigation, and she will have our full support and support of the team. She will make the determinations on that, and there is not timetable for her to bring back a report. When we have it, we will certainly move forward.”
