Roger Goodell
During anย appearance onย Mike & Mike in the Morning, NFL commissioner Roger Goodellย said that heโs โopen to changing my role,โ calling the process โextremely time-consuming,โ via Pro Football Talk.
However,ย Goodell clarified that he could see his role changing in regards toย the initial decision-making process, and not with internal appeals process.
Regarding aย neutral arbitration, Goodell said he resists this ideaย because the โstandards of the NFL are important to uphold,โ and that โyou donโt delegate that responsibility or those standards.โ
