As I just talked about the first round of the annual league meetings to take place following the start of the new league year will be held at the end of this month. During that time, assuming that the event is actually able to take place as planned, the Competition Committee will be considering seven team-submitted proposals for rules changes, some of which I will be going over during the course of the next couple of days.
Arguably the most significant proposal that was made comes from the Philadelphia Eagles—who have four of the seven submitted proposed changes—which would “provide an alternative to the onside kick that would allow a team who is trailing in the game an opportunity to maintain possession of the ball after scoring (4th and 15 from the kicking team’s 25-yard line)”.
