But it does seem like this is like...

going to end with the expiration of the CBA and no new deal at this point.

And Mike Florio at Pro Football Talk had a good post about this the other day where he was sort of like detailing what this could look like if officials were full-time.

And a leak source did tell us they have as part of their proposal the option, they're trying to, and they're proposing to make the 17 referees full-time.

And they would then travel to New York, I believe they said like every Tuesday, to work with league office staff officiating department there.

And then they would go back to their crews on the weekend and be able to like disseminate all that information.

So that is something that they're asking for per league source that the league is asking for.

But Florio had a good post about this where he was sort of saying like, well, you know,

You could create a world where every single official is full time and you expect them to live in like two major cities that are easy to get to the rest of the country from.

And it wouldn't be like that would be expensive for the NFL.

Obviously, that's going to cost a lot because you're moving everybody, you know, into college.

you know, a more full, a full-time job, you're going to have to pay them a little bit more than you already do.

And the average official makes $350,000.

So that's already a pretty, pretty good salary for something that's considered part-time.

Right.

But I think like it's the league has this view that like these guys don't do a full-time job.

And I would argue from just from what I know about talking to officials, seeing when they do their job, knowing how, again, players, what are NFL players doing right now?

They're on vacation, you guys.

This is the time where they can take a break.

So I don't really understand the argument that, oh, these officials don't work because from Super Bowl to May, they're not working.
