For now at least, in 2 years he'll probably be the first $40M a year guy

Competition Committee may be pushing a change with the pass interference penalty.

NFL Could Change Defensive Pass Interference Penalty

I'm on board with this. There shouldn't be any spot fouls in the NFL. 15 yarder is sufficient enough in this case.

It either needs to be 15 yards or reviewable (only the penalized team can challenge that it wasn't PI). No reason teams should get bogus 50 yard gifts.

If it's legit than it won't be bogus so I agree replay the fouls

Would be a good change. NCAA has this rule already, hasn't it? Spot of foul if under 15y, 15 yards penalty if the foul occurs further down the field.

Btw, I was looking at SB XXVI (amazing game).

And realized there has been some pretty significant rules changes between then and now:

What on earth was that "if a receiver is forced out of bounds while in the air, and he would have come down in bounds had he not been pushed, then it's a catch" rule ?!!?! Glad we got rid of that one!
It came up 2 times on the Art-Monk-called-back-TD-drive, feels pretty insane when you've never heard of it...

Just think, had that been the rule back in the 80's, there would've been a lot of much closer games, if not completely different outcomes in games, because I do remember that rule. And I think the last TD in Super Bowl XVII was such a TD, because Theismann kind of threw it to the side of the end zone and I think it might have been Alvin Garrett that caught the pass and was forced out of bounce, but still had the TD to count.

In Super Bowl XXVI, there were a lot of "catches" that wouldn't have been catches today. I remember one low pass Rypien threw to Byner that was called a catch and there was no way that would've been called a catch in today's game. Of course, there were also a lot of times where roughing the passer probably would've been called on the Redskins defense as well that wasn't called. The game was definitely called much more loosely back then!

Jonathan Stewart released by the Panthers
