In the photo to the left is NFL referee Ed Hochuli, probably one of the most well known and respected referees in the history of the game.

His name has been trending on twitter for hours now since talks about an agreement between the NFL and referees has started.

No telling which game Hochuli will be returning to referee, but we now know that the original refs will be returning as soon as Thursday night for the game against the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns.

Officials will travel to Dallas on Friday to retrieve their gear and assignments for Sunday and Monday.

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, "Game officials compensation will increase from an average of  $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019."
