The Cleveland Browns’ proposal to allow clubs to trade NFL draft selections up to five seasons in the future was withdrawn on Monday, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported.
Trading picks a maximum of three years in advance will remain in effect.
The reasoning behind proposal was that it would allow more flexible roster building.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport noted the Browns achieved their goal of creating discussion regarding the matter.
There is nothing preventing the Browns — or another team — from proposing the rule in the future.
The Browns’ decision to withdraw their proposal comes after Rams head coach Sean McVay, who is a memeber of the league’s competition committee, indicated to reporters that it was unlikely to pass when voted upon during this week’s Annual League Meeting.
