The Competition Committee is now a nine-member committee selected by commissioner Roger Goodell and led by chairman (and Atlanta Falcons president) Rich McKay.
The other members of the committee are as follows:
- John Mara, Giants ownerÂ
- Stephen Jones, Cowboys ownerÂ
- Mark Murphy, Packers presidentÂ
- Ozzie Newsome, Ravens general managerÂ
- Rick Smith, Texans general managerÂ
- Marvin Lewis, Bengals coachÂ
- Mike Tomlin, Steelers coachÂ
Former committee member and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher stepped down from his position on the committee last February, citing that he would take a more team-focused approach to the season after the transition back to Los Angeles. He was removed from the committee list the league provided on March 10.
The Competition Committee meets annually and reviews rules proposals that are submitted to all 32 teams before the NFL Combine. To adopt a new rule or revision, the support of 75% of the owners (24 yes votes from 32 teams) is required.
