NFL owners meetings: Here are some proposed rule changes that will be debated next week

Change is inevitable in most aspects of life, and the NFL is no different.

The league will discuss 17 rule changes and five bylaw changes at the annual owner's meetings next week in Phoenix. Individual teams as well as the league's competition committee proposed multiple new ideas that will be voted on by the 32 owners and will need at least 24 votes to pass. These include alterations to penalties, replay, coaches' challenges, jersey numbers, kickoffs and playoff seeding.

Conspicuously, the Philadelphia Eagles' infamous quarterback push play won't be discussed, despite reports in February that it could be on the docket at the March meeting.
