The NFL is floating the idea of using replacement referees with union talks stalling — again.   ESPN reported Wednesday that the league is “laying groundwork” to hire replacement officials if it and the NFL Referees Association can’t come to a new collective bargaining agreement before the 2026 season.   The NFL is looking for “about 150 mostly small college” referees to begin onboarding as soon as this spring, per the outlet.
