PALM BEACH, Fla. — Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s the latest from NFL owners meetings about the NFL rule changes from team president Art Rooney II.
The Steelers measure to introduce a phone or video call component to the free agent contact period passed, as did a number of other measures, including kickoff changes to move touchbacks to the 35-yard-line, and more.
Meanwhile, measures to strip home playoff games and to reduce the penalties for defensive holding and illegal contact were defeated, and a measure to ban the tush push was tabled.
Alan breaks it down.
