Roger Goodell Says NFL Will Evaluate Possible Rooney Rule Changes, Could Eliminate It

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday that the league office is reviewing the Rooney Rule and will consider making changes to the mandate, or even eliminating it altogether.

"What we're going to do is step back and look at everything we're doing today, reevaluate that," Goodell said. "Everything from looking at the Rooney Rule and seeing what changes should be made to that, if any changes. Or should it be removed, which some people have suggested."
