The reliance on advanced technologies is part of a growing trend in human resources of moving from human to machine-based assessment. General managers want the latest tools in order to reach decisions that have profound consequences for their teams. They are using everything from biometrics and personality assessments to AI, data analytics, and computer vision to gain an edge over other teams. Three interconference games on a rotational basis for the last three games.In this type of situation, it is little surprise that teams are deploying the latest technologies as part of their skills assessments, talent recruitment, and evaluation of injury proneness. Two games against against two teams from the opposing division in the same conference. Home-and-home series with the other three division teams for six of the 11 games. The divisions would be set up as follows:Īnd the 11 games would be scheduled as follows: This would also be an extension of the active roster in December, to a 51-man active roster from the current 46.
The NFL teams would be allowed a five-man roster exemption to have five minor leaguers come and practice with the squad, with the option of having them play in the fourth quarter of any game.
The minor-league teams would play an 11-game, 12-week schedule that begins at the same time as the NFL schedule in September, and ends the last week of November. The NFL currently plays a 16-game, 17-week schedule. It would even also allow the true development of second- and third-round players at log-jammed positions. This sounds a bit complicated of course, but it would allow a team to draft a guy in the fifth or sixth round and give him some real game experience before elevating him to a starting role in the NFL. But the NFL could provide its teams with 22 players who would be protected as minor leaguers for at least a two-year window.Īfter that two-year span, the old practice-squad rules would apply and you could sign a player from any minor-league team as long as he has two years of minor-league service or more and is moved to the NFL team's 53-man roster. You see players get signed off other teams' practice squads every year, and NFL teams hate and love it at the same time. The minor leagues could provide something that practice squads don't: player protection. The practice squad would go the way of the dinosaur, however. Those are just three players off the top of my head who have developed into stars after sitting on a practice squad for at least a year.
