Which new rules were passed: Scorecard of the 2019 owners meeting [live updates]
Updates to the proposed rules and policy changes under consideration at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix.
NFL owners are meeting in Phoenix to discuss many items for the 2019 season, including 16 rules proposals, 6 bylaws changes, and 3 policy proposals. Football Zebras will be updating this post as information is reported on the status of individual agenda items. A brief summary of each is listed below, indicating the team that proposed it or “CC” for a Competition Committee proposal and the disposition of each proposal. In order to pass, a proposal needs a ¾-vote of all owners, or 24 voting in the affirmative (abstentions are essentially counted the same as “no” votes; in the unlikely event there are absentees, those teams are not counted at all).
Items that are tabled are deemed to not be passed, unless it is specifically tabled for consideration at the May spring meeting.
Updates and source information are posted below the lists. Full text of all proposals is here.
