Voting on the proposed changes to the Rooney Rule, which will award teams better draft spots in Round 3 if they hire minority coaches or general managers, will reportedly be "close" among NFL owners.
Peter King of NBC Sports reported he is "unsure" of Commissioner Roger Goodell's enthusiasm for the change.
"This is going to be close. I can't call which way it'll go," a source told King.
Under the new proposal, which was first reported by NFL.com's Jim Trotter, a team that hires a minority general manager would move up 10 slots in the third round and six slots for hiring a minority head coach in the draft preceding their second season.
