PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The NFL concluded its annual league meeting Tuesday, with efforts to get the tush push banned getting tabled after garnering support from 16 teams -- eight short of the necessary 24. Owners did approve expanding the league's replay assist program and a significant change to the kickoff rule. The league also announced a switch from relying on the chain gang for first-down measurements to camera-based technology, similar to line calls in tennis. The traditional chain crew will remain on the sidelines in a secondary capacity.
The three-day event also included numerous owners, general managers and coaches discussing the makeup of their teams and answering the most pressing questions in this period between free agency and the draft, and more than 20 ESPN reporters were on the scene to collect the highlights:
Jump to a team/topic: The NFL last month made a small but potentially significant change to its funding rule, which requires teams to hold in escrow an amount of money sufficient to cover the fully guaranteed money in the future years of their players' contracts.
