People generally don't bail from good jobs and those NFL refs get paid gooooood and it's only part time. Sweet gig
They sure make a ton of money for their part time job. In 2019 their salary goes to 201,000.00NFL refs are older guys with leisure time, who are not full-time professionals but who ref games for s—ts and giggles.
By using low-cost amateur refs, the NFL and the NFLPA save a few dimes, sure...but that’s why we end up with games being decided by blind old men — who can’t get it right on the field in the first place — having their mistakes supported after-the-fact by arcane rulings, such as the Tuck Rule, which began the Brady Era, or the just-rewritten receiving rule which, in its previously ridiculous form, put us on the wrong end of Catch/No Catch in 2014.
Put all these current fuggs in a sack and drown ‘em...then go out and hire/train — and hold accountable — some full-time profe$$ional referees.
Players come and goSome are old. Some have been offered jobs as tv replay experts. The beat goes on. I see no cause for alarm.

Aren’t most of the guys leaving “on the back 9”? They’re well compensated, but I’d imagine they don’t wanna take crap from disgruntled fans. People overreact, and with the new rule changes they probable figure it’s not worth the abuse.
Lot's of referee turnover.
Terry McCauley
Ed Hochuli
Jeff Tripplette
Gene Steratore
Those are some of the main guys.
I had a feeling this might happen when the NFL decided to go with full time refs.
Most of the current group are professionals who probably make more money in the real world.

Wasn't Steratore the ruler guy and Dez over-ruler! Bye bye Papa Gino. Go gab a pie on the way out
