The NFL released the following proposed rules changes for the 2016 season by the Competition Committee and the clubs. The proposals will be voted on during next week’s league meetings in Florida.
Proposed rule changes (19):
1. By Competition Committee: Permanently moves the line of scrimmage for try kicks to the defensive team’s 15-yard line, and allows the defense to return any missed try.
2. By Competition Committee: Permits the offensive and defensive play callers on the coaching staffs to use the coach-to-player communication system regardless of whether they are on the field or in the coaches’ booth.
