Show Notes
NFL owners have approved new roster rules for the 2026 season, including:
1. Flexible cutdown day: Teams can now adjust their rosters up to four p.m. Eastern on the Tuesday before Week One, especially for international games.
2. Labor Day weekend as business days: Transaction wires will process on holidays, allowing player moves before Week One.
3. Shorter injured reserve: Players on IR will still miss four games, but teams can begin practicing with them after the second game, not the fourth.
4. Expanded free agency communication: Teams can now communicate with up to five unrestricted free agents during the negotiating window and arrange travel for signed players.
