Here's my list:
1) OPI or DPI is a 10 yard penalty from where the ball is snapped. No automatic first down, no spot fouls.
2) Concussion Protocol: If refs determine you target and hit a guy in the head, and he is removed from the game for concussion protocol, it's a 15 yard penalty, plus the player who commits the target is disqualified for as long as the targeted player is out. For example, if he misses the rest of the game, the guy who laid the hit is out for the game. If he's out two weeks, they guy who hit him is out two weeks, etc. Plus a game check is forfeited by the hitter for that game, and every game the targeted player is out.
3) Illegal contact. Five yard penalty, but no automatic first down.
4) Two personal fouls in one game, ejection, loss of paycheck from that game, suspension and loss of paycheck for the next game. This would include the playoffs.
5) Extra point moved from the 15 to the 25 yard line. If you want to go for two, ball is placed at the five yard line.
All paychecks that are lost: funds go to CTE Research.
How about you? What would you change?

1. Only if calls are reviewable. Especially if no opi is called. Throw flag get call. The bump rule needs to be 10 yards to balance this also.
2. Only if it is a bonafide targeting hit. But to balance offensive players have to give them selves up and cannot lower their head for catches. Also reviewable.
3.ok
4.no too extreme and some ejections were bs. Loss of game check to charity.
5. No, move up to 10 but two pt plays are also from 10.
No, league should already be funding this. Also the research should also look into the percentage of suicides with people having financial problems.
Same with the league should guarantee medical for life if you play 4 seasons or more or injured during a game or NFL activity.
Ideally need to research mimicking rugby pads for games.
