We have heard tricklings here and there over the course of the past several months about the potential details of what the new Collective Bargaining Agreement proposal might contain. Unsurprisingly, the numerous reports inevitably failed to fully account for the variety and nuance that ended up being on the table.
Some practical personnel matters, tied both to in-game and out-of-game scenarios, find themselves embedded within the proposal, and I will try to highlight them below. The most notable, for me, is the introduction of a new ‘emergency’ gameday active.
It used to be that teams would only be allowed to have 45 players formally active from their 53-man roster, but all teams were permitted to dress one additional player as an emergency quarterback.
