NFL to Reward Teams for Developing Minority Coaches and GMs.
A virtual meeting between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and league executives was held on Tuesday.
A proposal was approved that will compensate teams with draft picks for losing minority coaches and front-office executives ... .
... who become head coaches, general managers or team presidents for other clubs.
If a team loses a minority coach or executive to a head coach or executive position with another club, they would receive a third-round compensatory pick in the next two drafts.
If a team loses two minority staffers to both head coach and GM roles, they would receive three third-round picks.
The NFL Players Association
must approve the resolution.

... So our effort here is to continue to look at everything we’re doing to try to improve our policies, our procedures, to encourage and to get the results we want, which is more diversity and inclusion within our ranks, Roger Goodell, via statement
