The NFL’s competition committee is mulling some changes to officiating at the combine this week.
The collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Referees Association will expire in May. According to Mark Maske, the competition committee discussed on Tuesday contingencies to “centralize some officiating functions in New York and expand the use of technology in officiating” in 2026 if the NFL and the NFL Referees Association cannot agree on a new CBA this offseason. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the NFL and NFL Referees Association have been in talks for a year and a half, but little progress has been made.
