NFL owners to discuss Roger Goodell's role

NFL owners plan to talk about possibly changing commissioner Roger Goodell's role in the disciplining of players, the Washington Post is reporting, citing several people familiar with the situation.
The report comes the day after a federal judge erased New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's four-game suspension for the Deflategate controversy that the NFL claimed threatened football's integrity. The outcome in favor of Brady was taken as a signal that Goodell's responsibilities in the disciplinary process were ripe for change.
"There will certainly be discussion about that," the Post quoted an NFL owner as saying. The unnamed owner added he was "not sure where it will lead."
U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman's ruling on Thursday in Brady's appeal follows heavy criticism that Goodell had faced for his handling of cases involving Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson (child injury) and former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice (domestic violence).
In his ruling, Berman addressed the NFL's "broad" policy against conduct detrimental to the league, calling it "legally misplaced." He specifically referenced the Peterson and Rice cases, noting that in both, the players were disciplined only "after findings were made under the specific domestic violence policy."
An NFL Players Association source told ESPN's Ed Werder of possible ramifications of Goodell having yet another decision on discipline overturned by a judge: "Hopefully the owners will engage us in a process for meaningful change."
A timetable for potential discussions among the owners is unclear. The league's fall meeting comes in early October.

They should discuss changing Goodell's role to "former commissioner".

Seems to be a very strong possibility that they will curb his power. I wouldn't qualify that as "nothing"
Multiple owners have come out and agreed with the NFLPA that there needs to be change so crap like this doesn't happen
