Breaking: NFL approves full time officials

Recommended Posts

The NFL is getting its wish—and full-time officiating positions are coming to the league.

The NFLRA, the officials’ union, approved a plan on Wednesday for the implementation of 21 to 24 full-time officials, three sources said. Under the plan, each of the seven field officiating positions will be represented, with no more than five coming from one position.

The plan was jointly negotiated by the league and union, with the emphasis on improving the state of officiating across the board. An announcement is expected later on Wednesday.

The full-time officials will come from the current roster of 124 game officials. Also, the full-time officials will be permitted to have outside employment.

So... now they get full time pay and benefits, but in reality, nothing changes. It just becomes a side gig with full-time gig bennies. Well done to the refs and their reps, but this is likely virtually meaningless in terms of benefit to the game.

Yeah, but they lose excuses. Perform better or GTFO.

    • Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
    • I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
