Over the past several years, the competition committee is estimated to have a 90 percent success rate in passing proposals.
On Tuesday here at the NFL owners meeting in Palm Beach, Fla., it won a three-year battle to have radio communication put in the helmets of two designated defensive players. With one exception, the committee is expected to get a thumbs up for all proposals it is campaigning for.
The exception is the reseeding of the playoffs. Under the proposal, the opportunity for a home game could be available for the wild-card teams. Affected would be playoff seeds three through six in each conference.
Reseeding is expected to be voted down by owners Wednesday. The Browns on Tuesday joined the Steelers and Bengals as teams in the AFC North against the proposal. The Ravens are expected to join them.
League traditionalists are against it because they believe division winners should be rewarded. Commissioner Roger Goodell was hopeful of the passage of a reseeding plan because of how teams such as the Bucs rested players in the final two weeks of the regular season after clinching division titles. Goodell wants every game to count.
Some team suggestions are expected to be defeated Wednesday. The Bucs want to use a long-snapper like a third quarterback and open up a roster spot for an additional player. The competition committee voted against the proposal and it doesn't appear to have enough votes to pass.
The biggest debate will involve expanding rosters beyond 80 players during the offseason. That vote is expected to be negative. The Bucs want a 90-man roster. The committee is pushing for 86.
