There will also be two bylaw proposals up for a vote, both initiated by Detroit.
One would amend the current playoff seeding format to allow Wild Card teams to be seeded higher than Division Champions if the Wild Card team has a better regular season record.
The other would exclude from the 90-player limit a player placed on Reserve/Injured before or on the day of the roster reduction to 53 players, unless such player is Designated for Return.
Finally, three resolutions have been proposed.
The first, proposed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, would permit clubs during the two-day negotiation period to: (i) have one video or phone call with a prospective unrestricted free agent and his player agent; and (ii) would permit clubs to arrange for the player’s travel upon agreeing to terms with a prospective unrestricted free agent. Travel cannot occur until the beginning of the new league year.
The second, proposed by Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Las Vegas, Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Washington;, would permit clubs to prepare kicking footballs (“K-Balls”) before game day, similar to the process permitted for game footballs.
The third, proposed by Washington, would permit clubs that may qualify for the postseason to obtain scouting credentials for two consecutive games (Weeks 17 and 18) played by a potential postseason opponent. It would also require clubs hosting Wild Card games to provide scouting credentials to all teams within the same conference who are participating in the postseason.
