This is an opportunity to create a better future for the NFL, to improve the game for our fans, and to expand the economic benefits for the players and teams. Staying with the status quo is not an option. The world has changed for everyone, including the NFL and our fans. We must get better in everything we do ... If both sides compromise and give a little, everyone will get a lot, especially the fans.

Change before you're forced to change.

I hold head coaches accountable.

It is a privilege for me to serve the NFL. It is the only place I have ever wanted to work.

Every game in the NFL is important.

Ignorance is not a suitable defense

The highest standards of conduct must be met by everyone in the NFL because it is a privilege to represent the NFL, not a right.
