NFL's Troy Vincent says league has "a broken system" for minority hiring but also says the mobility issue addressed today regarding interviewing rules was significant.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) May 19, 2020
NFL executive Troy Vincent says the resolution today easing restrictions on interviews for coaches and executives "has been a fight for decades -- to get mobility that has disproportionately affected people of color."

This one is significant because it also prevents teams from blocking personnel people from interviewing for the ASSISTANT general manager position, as well.
— Jim Trotter (@JimTrotter_NFL) May 19, 2020
I also wonder if this will push teams to promote some guys that they were waiting to give titles to. One could be Patriots LBs coach Jerod Mayo. Another could be Titans OLBs coach Shane Bowen. https://t.co/sowOSsTZYc

Why is it important that NFL teams can't block coaches from interviewing for coordinator jobs? Because position coaches will no longer have to let their contracts lapse to get opportunities. pic.twitter.com/fMaMcQAPi2
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 19, 2020
If I am reading the new NFL resolutions right, teams will no longer be able to use titles like "Assistant Head Coach: Fullbacks " like the franchise tag to hold on to young coaches they like until a coordinator spot opens.

One partial solution: let college players enter the draft earlier. RBs would be most likely to benefit. They'd get paid for their age 20-21 seasons and be eligible for 2nd contracts with 2-3 good seasons left instead of 0-1. https://t.co/dntjVnctBe

Dr. Sills says the NFL is working closely with other sports leagues in the U.S. and aboard to look at similar issues: What does rate of new infection look like? How play safely? "Obviously football and physical distancing is not compatible." But many common challenges.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 19, 2020
Sills says the NFL has "broad agreement on many, many issues" with the NFLPA, but issues such as testing still evolving. "I really see it as it’s not a one-time agreement that we’ll be reaching." Have to be flexible/adaptable to respond to new knowledge, make data-based decisions
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 19, 2020
NFL conference call isn't shedding much light on what's ahead. Officials won't put a timetable on players' return to facilities, nor will they disclose how much testing would be needed to start camps in July.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 19, 2020
Dr. Sills: "We will likely be in a different place 30 days from now."
Sills said NFL is in regular communication with other leagues around the world re: reopening procedures. "There are some unique challenges that we face, but most of the challenges are going to be common to all these sports."
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) May 19, 2020
Sills says NFL's expectation is that testing will evolve and "we will likely be in a very different place 30 days from now, 60 days from now than we are now."
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) May 19, 2020
No. Not yet. But I believe they are working on that and there will be. And I don't think it'll be different rules for Mahomes and other players.
