The NFL owners meetings begin this week at the Boca Raton Resort in sunny South Florida.
But there won't be much time to lounge on the beach.
The owners meetings gather the most powerful people in the sport in one place for a few busy days. On the agenda this year for the competition committee are 19 new rule change proposals, several of which are safety-driven.
The NFL's head coaches will also be in Boca and will meet with the media during hour-long breakfast sessions. This year, the AFC coaches will talk to reporters early Tuesday morning and the NFC coaches, Doug Pederson included, will speak Wednesday morning. As always, there will be plenty to talk about.
Here are some of the biggest Eagles storylines for the next few days:
Talking to the big guy
The last time reporters got a chance to fire questions at Eagles owner Jeff Lurie was on Jan. 19 at Pederson's introductory press conference.
A lot has happened since then. A whole lot.
The Eagles filled out their coaching staff, they paused their search for a personnel head, and vice president of football operations Howie Roseman revamped the team in free agency and traded into the top 10 of April's draft.
Last year in Arizona, Lurie elected to speak to reporters Tuesday. We'll hope for the same this time around.
Dueling breakfasts
The worst part about Chip Kelly's taking a job with an NFC team is it ruined the chance for Philly reporters to crash his breakfast session and finally get some answers about his exit from the Eagles. Sure, many Eagles fans are ready to move on, but his departure from Philadelphia is still pretty interesting.
Pederson and Kelly will talk at their roundtables at the same time Wednesday morning. There are plenty of things to talk to Pederson about, including the moves the team made in free agency and the upcoming draft.
Rule changes
The NFL competition committee is scheduled to have a press conference at 12:15 p.m. on Monday to discuss any rule changes.
There are 19 proposed rule changes this year. Among the ones garnering the most attention are a proposal to eliminate all chop blocks, one to disqualify players for two unsportsmanlike penalties in a game and one to extend the amount of coaches' challenges.
The most interesting (silliest) proposal comes from the Baltimore Ravens, who have proposed a rule that would force players to wear a vest with numbers appropriate for their position. This is the Ravens' reaction to what the Patriots did to them in the 2014 playoffs when they confused Baltimore with some unusual formations. Basically this rule would require an ineligible player (like an offensive lineman) who becomes eligible to wear a pinnie.
This rule proposal doesn't have a snowball's chance in ... well ... Boca.
