NFL Proposes New Rule Changes: Steelers, Browns Lead the Way

0:00With the NFL today, March 19th. The NFL annual meeting kicks off next week, but this time around, teams have submitted just two rule change proposals. That's a big draw from last year, when everyone was buzzing about possibly vanting the Tishpush play. The ideas come from the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers want to make a recent tweak, permanent during the two-day legal tampering window, before free agency starts. Right now, teams can hold video calls with up to five players and even plan travel once deals are in place. Pittsburgh sees this as a smart way to smooth negotiations. Meanwhile, the Browns are pushing to let teams trade draft picks farther into the future. Currently, trades are limited to three years out, but Cleveland wants to extend that to five years down the road. Last year brought a flood of proposals, especially around player safety and quarterback sneaks. With this quieter slate, let's owners focus on other. Business like expansion talks.

1:00Some folks call the Browns idea reckless, worrying it could complicate future drafts too much. Still, with so few changes on the table, expect quit boats and plenty of time for broader league updates. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, See the episode description.
