The Cleveland Browns have withdrawn their proposed rule change which would have extended how far out teams can trade draft picks, according to an NFL Network report.
The Browns proposed the rule earlier this month, hoping to grow the range at which teams can trade draft picks from three years to five.
The organization argued this '1) would provide Clubs with greater roster-building flexibility, 2) would create more creative trade structures that better mirror the valuations of both draft selections and players, 3) would increase the liquidity of draft capital which supports league-wide parity, 4) would improve alignment with contract and salary cap cycles, and 5) would encourage a more active trade market.'
The proposal was set to be voted on this week at the league's meetings in Phoenix, needing 24 of 32 votes in favor in order to be approved. However, it seems highly unlikely it was going to pass, with Rams head coach Sean McVay going so far as to say it had a 'zero percent' chance.
