Overview
- Competition Committee co-chair Rich McKay said at the combine he has seen no club proposal to outlaw the play and does not envision one this offseason.
- NFL executive Troy Vincent confirmed no submission arrived before the rule-change deadline, though the league may examine broader aiding-the-runner language.
- A Green Bay–led bid to ban the tactic failed last May by two votes (reported 22–10), underscoring the 24-of-32 threshold for rule changes.
- League usage climbed to 112 attempts in 2025 as conversion rates dipped to about 76.8%, with the Eagles (27) and Bills (17) leading attempts and officiating focus on false starts persisting.
- Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said the team will not renew the push to ban it, and committee discussions this offseason center on catch/no-catch standards, replay applications and playoff seeding rather than the single play.
