Eagles Avoid Tush Push Scrutiny, Steelers & Browns Propose New Rules

It's March 19th for the NFL. Let's get into it.

The Philadelphia Eagles' Tush Push Play dodged a bullet at this year's NFL meetings. Fans

have criticized the quarterback's sneak for safety risks and slowing down games, but

no team proposed banning it. Instead, two rule-change ideas came from the AFC North and the

Eagles stayed out of it. The Pittsburgh Steelers want to make a new off-season rule permanent.

It lets teams make one phone or video call to up to five free agents during the legal tampering

window and fly players in right after agreeing to terms. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns proposed

letting teams trade draft picks up to five years ahead. Right now, trades only go out

three years, like the Eagles' Dealing picks from 2026 to 2028 this year. Fans and coaches

keep debating the Tush Push, with many pushing for limits due to injury worries and game flow.

The Eagles converted it at 63.6% last season, down from nearly 80% before, and teams like

the Buffalo Bills and Steelers have tried their own versions. Still, it's not over yet.

The NFL Competition Committee will share more proposals next week, and they handle rules

and safety, so the play could face new scrutiny down the line.
