As an ardent NFL fan who wants to see the quality of the league rules, player safety/longevity and the games improve, here are some suggested rule changes:
1. Teams should be able to dress all 53 players on game days. The NFL is trying to stress player safety, thus there is no reason why players on the roster should be inactive on game days, unless they are injured. This gives every team maximum depth, especially on special teams.
2. Eliminate compensatory draft picks. They benefit the top teams more than they do the bottom teams. If the NFL truly wants to create parity, then this rule needs to be changed.
