Just for fun, here's my top two. Add on.
1) Turn the Spring League into an actual developmental league that runs from the beginning of May to Mid-July when TC opens. This window is the true dead zone of the NFL calendar. There are 90 man rosters on which 40% of people won't make the team, and who are sitting around doing nothing for months. If you really want to go for it you can up the roster limit from 90 to 106 and each team can have a FULL "B-team" for Spring League which will bring in more fans as people will be rooting for actual players on their actual favorite teams. You can keep the same team names, make money on creative riffs on the uniforms, and use this league to experiment with rules changes. Teams also get to see a lot more of guys who too often end up being just "bodies" due to excessive restrictions on practice time, which leads to the next change on my wishlist.
2) Revise the CBA to allow for double or triple the amount of practice time allowed. You can keep hitting at the sa
me level, but under the new CBA player development is suffering. It's hurting QBs and offensive line play the most. NFL players get paid enough to be asked to practice in organized team activities more. The quality of the sport is suffering.
