Happy Monday, football fanatics! With this being the offseason, now is the time when us writers start to take some much-needed vacation, and that's exactly where John Breech finds himself this week. Our pal is off trying to best Christian McCaffrey's dad skills at Disney, which means you get me, Tyler Sullivan, to guide you through all the latest happenings in the NFL in the latest edition of the Pick Six newsletter.

This is a notable week on the offseason calendar as the league is descending on Phoenix for the Annual Meeting. On top of various rule proposals, there will almost certainly be other nuggets that'll sprinkle out of the desert, and I'm on-site in Arizona this week to cover it all, so be sure to follow along.

Before we dive deeper into this week's events and the latest headlines throughout the NFL, here's your reminder to tell all your friends (and even your enemies) to sign up for the newsletter. Let's get to it!

1. NFL Annual Meeting kicks off in Phoenix

The movers and shakers of the NFL have taken up residency in Arizona this week for the Annual Meeting. All 32 owners and head coaches, along with various front office heads, are in Phoenix this week, where they will go through an array of topics, which include various rule changes. Specifically, there are five proposed rule changes from the NFL Competition Committee that'll take central focus.

- Permit the kicking team to declare an onside kick at any time during the game.

- Eliminate the kicking team's incentive to intentionally kick the ball out of bounds when kicking off from the 50-yard line.

- Modify the kickoff alignment requirements for the receiving team in the setup zone.

- Allow league personnel to consult with on-field officials when considering disqualifications for both flagrant football acts and non-football acts without being called onto the field.

- For 2026 only, allow the NFL Officiating Department to correct clear and obvious misses by on-field officials that impact the game in the event of a work stoppage involving officials represented by the NFL Referees Association.

It's worth noting that for any of these changes to take effect, it would require at least 75% of the owners to vote in favor. To read a more detailed breakdown of these proposals, check out our full story here.

And those aren't the only changes that could be coming, as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns have also put forward proposals.

- From Pittsburgh: To make permanent the change implemented during the 2025 season that permits clubs to have one video or phone call with no more than five prospective Unrestricted Free Agents during the Two-Day Negotiation Period, and to permit clubs to make travel arrangements with such players upon agreeing to terms.

- From Cleveland: To allow draft selections to be traded up to five (5) seasons in the future (the current rule only lets teams trade picks three years out).

Of course, with everyone under the same roof for a few days, there's also the possibility of more news leaking out, especially with every head coach set to speak with reporters. On Monday morning, the NFC head coaches will field questions, while the AFC coaches will follow up on Tuesday morning.
