Potential changes to the NFL, such as a lottery system for draft picks, shorter seasons, or eliminating back-to-back games, are topics of discussion. Proposed changes to the NFL include reducing pass interference penalties to a maximum of 15 yards, implementing a one-foot rule for catches, extending the five-yard chuck rule, starting the season on Labor Day weekend, changing the overtime rule to resemble college rules, tweaking roughing the passer penalties, adjusting salary cap distribution, and reorganizing teams into geographical divisions.
