Summary of Approved Rule Changes

Mile High Report has an excellent summary of rule changes passed at the recent owners meeting. Among the changes was the elimination of the 'force-out' rule for receptions and elimination of the 5-yard variety facemask penalty. I can't be more concise than the linked author, so check it out.

UPDATE: The Denver Post is reporting that NFL owners rejected a proposal to expand NFL rosters from 80 to 86 players. This was largely viewed as a housekeeping move in response to the dissolution of the NFL Europe league. That the voters rejected this is significant in that it reflects how incredibly tense relations have become between the owners and the NFLPA. Don't pay for your 2010 fantasy football league just yet!
