NFL owners are meeting in Palm Beach, Fla., to discuss items for the 2025 season, including 5 rules proposals, 5 bylaws changes, and a 3 policy resolutions.

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).

Updates and source information are posted below the list

    CANNOT GET A RESPONSE FROM UFL ABOUT HOW THE LEAGUE IS ASSIGNING A REPLAY OFFICIAL WHO HAS NEVER EVEN OFFICIATED A HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY GAME. HAVING OFFICIATED FOOTBALL IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE FOR OVER 30 YEARS , IT DOES NOT SEEM RATIONAL TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL WHO HAS NEVER BEEN THERE, GIVE A RULING ON SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED. SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IT SEEMS ABSURD!!!!
