Steelers Push Rule Change for Free Agency

It's March 19th.

Here's your NFL news in two minutes, and two.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are pushing a major rule change ahead of the NFL's annual league

meeting.

They want to lock in a temporary tweak from the 2025 season forever.

It would let teams hold one video or phone call up to one hour long, with as many as

five upcoming free agents during the two-day window right before.

The new league year starts.

This proposal also allows teams to set up travel plans once a deal is in place.

Before this, clubs can only talk to certified agents or players without representation.

If passed, an agent would still need to join any call with a representative player.

The Steelers say the setup is competitively fair for everyone involved.

It shakes up how teams connect during that key negotiation time, potentially speeding

up agreements.

Only two team proposals made it to the discussion stage this year.

The other comes from their AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns.

League owners will debate these ideas at the meeting from March 29th to April 1st.

If approved, it could change free agency for good starting next off season.
