NFL Changes Anti-Tampering Period for Free Agency to 2 Days in New Guideline

The National Football League amended its anti-tampering policy Wednesday to reduce the amount of time teams can speak with agents of potential unrestricted free agents from three days to two.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the proposal, which is meant to provide a "more level playing field" in pursuing free agents, officially passed. He also provided the full outline of the rule:
