The NFL and the NFL Players Assocation have reached an agreement on extending the trade deadline from the Tuesday following Week 6 of the regular season to Week 8. Teams will also now be allowed to bring one player back to the active roster from injured reserve during the regular season, with some restrictions. "Language being finalized, but there is an agreement between NFL & NFLPA on changes to IR and trade deadline," an NFL spokesperson said. Also, starting next year, if a player signs or reports after training camp starts, that player can practice on the first day after he passes his physical. They will not have to wait until the third day. The NFL's competition committee approved the changes to the IR rules and the trade deadline at the NFL Annual Meeting in May.

Glad to see the new IR rule....should come in handy for the Steelers, perhaps the Giants right away.

Sounds good. I wonder if the buyers and sellers at the deadline will be similar to the MLB.

The new IR rule means designated players have to spend at least 8 weeks on IR before they can be activated.
The tag is not transferable and each team can designate only one guy.
