    • By Buffalo; to amend Rule 15, Section 2, Articles 1, 4, and 5 (Instant Replay) to permit a coach to challenge any official's decision except scoring plays and turnovers.
    • By Carolina; to amend Rule 8, Section 2, Article 1 (Intentional Grounding) to expand the definition of intentional grounding.
    • By Kansas City; to amend Rule 14, Section 2, Article 1 (Half-distance Penalty) to add penalty yards to the distance needed to gain a First Down.
    • By Kansas City; to amend Rule 8, Section 1, Article 2 (Legal Forward Pass) to prohibit quarterbacks from falling to the ground, getting up, and throwing a forward pass.
    • By Minnesota; to amend Rule 15, Section 2, Article 1 (Coaches' Challenge) to eliminate the requirement that a team be successful on each of its first two Instant Replay challenges in order to be awarded a third challenge.
    • By Washington; to amend Rule 16, Section 1, Articles 1, 4, 6 and 7 (Overtime procedures) to eliminate overtime periods in preseason games.
    • By Washington; to amend Rule 15, Section 2, Article 4 (Reviewable Plays) to subject personal foul penalties to Instant Replay review.
    • By Washington; to amend Rule 15, Section 2, Article 1 (Coaches' Challenge) to eliminate the requirement that a team be successful on each of its first two Instant Replay challenges in order to be awarded a third challenge.
    • By Competition Committee; Expands the horse collar rule to include when a defender grabs the jersey at the nameplate or above and pulls a runner toward the ground.
    • By Competition Committee; Makes it a foul for delay of game when a team attempts to call a timeout when it is not permitted to do so.
    • By Competition Committee; Eliminates the five-yard penalty for an eligible receiver illegally touching a forward pass after being out of bounds and re-establishing himself inbounds, and makes it a loss of down.
    • By Competition Committee; Eliminates multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of possession.
    I'm for elimination of OT in pre-season games. No need to risk more injuries.

    Cowboys looking into signing Alfred Morris. I would love to have him behind McFadden. Morris always killed the Cowboys with the Redskins. He has a great combo of speed and power. Reminds me a lot of Frank Gore.

    I heard Pats are interested in Morris too. I was hoping for him instead of Donald Brown

    Pats looking at Nick Fairley and Robert Kraft looks like he's pushing to get their draft picks back.

    Interested in seeing where Fairley ends up. Was a lot of talk about him ending up in Philly but I don't see it happening now.

    McFadden/Morris going to be a great combo. I love the signing. Now if we can just sign Patrick Robinson who is a solid corner, I'll be content with this free agency from the Cowboys. Signing Morris and Robinson opens up so many windows for the Cowboys at #4. With Robinson on the team, we could cut Carr, save cap space & go after Jalen Ramsey with #4. At the same time, we still need a premiere pass rusher. I think it's possibly the Cowboys bring Greg Hardy back considering no teams have contacted him up to this point. The longer Hardy remains in the free agency pool, the more likely it is that he comes back to Dallas. If he doesn't though, I can see the Cowboys grabbing Joey Bosa at #4.

    Holy s--- the Browns just signed RG3! I wonder if they'll still draft a QB at #2 now?

    There's reports out there that they're still heavily considering taking Carson Wentz with their pick... kinda the same s--- that happened to RGIII in Washington with Kirk lol.

    Good choice imo. I've never seen a franchise so desperate for a QB. I say start with RG3 and if he underperforms or gets hurt you have a franchise QB plan B.

    Speaking of the Giants, they spent 114 million on 3 linemen who only combined for 9 total sacks last year. Dumbasses
