The NFL’s annual owner’s meetings have all but concluded. Tuesday marked the day when owners voted on several rule changes, bylaws, and resolutions that were proposed by NFL teams and the competition committee.
The most notable change from Tuesday was the NFL approving just one roster cutdown. Now, teams will trim their rosters from 90 to 53 after the final preseason game. The date organizations must get to 53 is set for Tuesday, August 29.
This was the final straw for a trend that felt inevitable. Previously, there were two cutdowns. Then, last year, rosters were trimmed down to 85 players, followed by 80, before the final cut to get to 53.
