NFL Agrees To Move Trade Deadline, Expand Replay Assist
9 months agoNFL owners on Tuesday agreed to move the trade deadline to Tuesday after Week 9 of the 2024 season. In addition to moving the trade deadline back, three penalty categories -- intentional grounding, roughing the passer and hits out of bounds -- were added to the list of plays that replay assist can advise officials on. Teams can also use a practice-squad player as their emergency No. 3 quarterback on game days after requiring that player to be an existing member of the 53-man roster in 2023. Replay officials will be authorized to suggest a real-time reversal of a penalty on "specific, objective aspects of play when clear and obvious video evidence is present." It's a step toward creating the NFL's own version of a "sky judge," but one that gives the on-field referee the final word.
