Washington Redskins star cornerback Josh Norman wants to see a change in leadership within the NFL.

Asked how the league could improve its product, the outspoken Norman suggested that, like U.S. presidents, NFL commissioners should have term limits.

"Simple: Get the people who are in there out." Norman told Howard Fendrich of The Associated Press. "Whoever's making the rules, just get 'em out. We have a new president; have a new NFL commissioner.

"The game has been this way for 100 years. Why are people in the (league) office trying to change it? What are you trying to make better? Why touch the game? ... Change the staff. We changed the president; let's change them, too," he added. "There should be a number of years you can run it. There should be a term limit in the NFL."

It's unsurprising Norman believes the NFL is headed in the wrong direction given he's been fined three times this season for a total of just over $75,000. He was handed the punishments for an illegal hit, a bow-and-arrow celebration, and for criticizing an official after a game.
