"Chiefs' Andy Reid Endorses NFL's Kickoff Proposal"

The NFL's Competition Committee unanimously approved a revision to the new kickoff proposal, which would place touchbacks that go into the end zone on the fly at the 30-yard line instead of the 35, in an effort to provide a "less punitive" penalty for kicking teams. The proposal will be voted on by the league's owners, with 24 out of 32 needing to approve it for it to pass. Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed his support for the proposal, calling it interesting and exciting, while the final decision will be made by Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.

"NFL Owners Consider Complicated New Kickoff Proposal and Hip-Drop Tackle Ban"

The Competition Committee has proposed a significant overhaul of the kickoff in the NFL, but the complexity and length of the proposal may lead to it being tabled until May for further discussion. Some coaches are advocating for the elimination of kickoffs altogether, while others are concerned about the potential consequences and permutations of the proposed changes. With the annual meeting becoming more truncated, there may not be enough time to resolve the concerns necessary to gain the required three-fourths membership support for the proposal.
