While a potential ban on the tush push was debated last offseason, this year the Cleveland Browns have floated the most notable rule change.

The proposal seeks to allow NFL teams to agree to deals that would involve draft picks as far as five years in advance. Current league policy only permits teams to trade picks as far as three years into the future.

The NFL owners will consider the Browns’ proposal and a separate proposal from the Pittsburgh Steelers when they gather for league meetings before the end of the month. 

The Steelers’ suggestion centers on how players are contacted once the free agent negotiating period opens.

Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, said at last month’s scouting combine that no submitted proposals this year were about the tush push. However, the NFL’s competition committee will unveil its proposed rule changes next week.

At least 24 teams must vote in favor of any rule change for it to be approved.

The NFL limits trades involving future draft picks to three years, while the NBA allows deals up to seven years in advance.

The proposal sparked some criticism, with one fan pointing to the 2022 blockbuster trade to acquire quarterback Deshaun Watson. 

“Browns out here trying to trade 2030 picks before they even finish regretting 2022 one,” the fan wrote on X.

The Browns suggested the change would promote an environment for a more active trade market and greater roster flexibility.

The California State Legislature is taking steps to rename Cesar Chavez Day after a controversial report exposed sexual abuse allegations against the labor union activist.

Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas took to the Assembly floor on Thursday to recognize the “disturbing” and “painful” stories told by the women in Wednesday’s New York Times article.

“As someone who grew up in the farmworker movement, as a son and grandson of farmworkers who raised my brother and I, as a father and as a Latino, I am shocked, I am angry, and I am deeply, deeply disappointed,” Rivas said.

In solidarity with labor unions, Rivas announced that he was working with Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón to introduce legislation to rename Cesar Chavez Day to Farmworkers Day.

“This moment calls for honesty, it calls for reflection, and it calls for a renewed commitment to the values that the farmworker movement was built on,” Rivas said. “This morning, today, we stand with survivors, and we must recommit ourselves to justice, to dignity and to the people who built the farmworker movement.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the California State Legislature for further comment.

22 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH, CESAR CHAVEZ TO GET NAVY FUNERAL HONORS

Cesar Chavez Day has been recognized as a formal holiday in California since 2000 to commemorate Chavez’s birthday on March 31. It is unclear at this time if the legislature will be able to pass legislation to rename the holiday before the end of the month.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., who has supported legislation in response to the New York Times report, encouraged Rivas’ proposal.

“The farmworkers’ movement was always bigger than just one man or one person. Given the horrendous allegations that were made public for the first time yesterday, this is a welcomed change. Thank you, @CASpeakerRivas and Senate President @MoniqueLimonCA, for your leadership,” Newsom wrote on X.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also announced during a press conference on Thursday that she has signed a proclamation recognizing Cesar Chavez Day as Farmworkers Day in her city.

“On behalf of the city of Los Angeles, I’m proud to introduce and sign a proclamation today to rename the last Monday of March as Farmworkers Day,” Bass said. “I also want to share that I’ve been in touch with the Chavez family, and they support our decision to rename this holiday. This March 30, and every last Monday of March moving forward will provide an opportunity for Angelenos to reflect on how the struggle of farmworkers has elevated working people everywhere.”

Several California Democratic politicians have released statements attempting to distance themselves from Chavez despite the party’s longtime support for the labor union activist.

Tahir Hussain had filed a petition in Karkardooma court citing inguinal hernia. He needs early surgery and special care. It was said that it was necessary to stay out of jail to prevent infection and recovery. The court ordered the Delhi government to ensure complete care of Hussain after his surgery, both in the hospital and jail.

This order has come on the application for interim bail. In February 2020, 53 people were killed in the riots in North-East Delhi. This violence had erupted during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Investigating agencies have described it as a well-planned conspiracy, in which Tahir Hussain is the main accused. His regular bail was also rejected in January 2026.

Tahir Hussain had informed in his petition that he was suffering from inguinal hernia. He stressed the need for early surgery and special care. After surgery, it was said that it was necessary to stay out of jail to prevent infection and for proper recovery. On these health grounds, he had sought interim bail from the court.

court instructions
Karkardooma Court has directed Delhi Government to ensure hernia surgery of Tahir Hussain within 15 days. The court also ordered that he receive complete post-surgery care both in hospital and jail. It will be the responsibility of the Delhi government to ensure this. The court had earlier also adopted a strict stance in this case and his regular bail was rejected in January 2026.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Thursday he will sign an executive order to create an Office of Community Safety (OCS), a step toward his vision of public safety that prioritizes support and prevention rather than policing and penalization.

The office, housed within the mayor’s office, will oversee multiple existing public safety programs and signify a major step in building out Mamdani’s $1.1 billion Department of Community Safety.

The announcement comes after Mamdani pledged to revise the city’s police response in non-criminal emergencies, including mental health crises.

“For too long, we have approached crime and safety by placing only ever-expanding expectations on the police department, as we have asked them to address every failure of our social safety net,” Mamdani said during a news conference. 

“Crime is one of the most complex issues we face, and yet our city’s approach for far too long has been to rely on a patchwork of programs to deal with interconnected problems.

“We must instead pursue a whole-of-government model, one where our strategies are centralized and implemented with coordination and at scale, and one which a deputy mayor oversees,” he continued. “This will demand a multifaceted approach to a wide array of challenges across the city.”

Mamdani said the OCS will centralize agencies, including the Office of Crime Victim Services, Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Office to End Domestic and Gender-based Violence, Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes and Office of Community Mental Health.

Mamdani announced that Renita Francois, who served in the Office of Criminal Justice during the de Blasio administration, will serve as deputy mayor for community safety and oversee the initiative.

“Renita’s commitment to justice began in her childhood in South Central LA, continued in her early career working in Brooklyn Family Court and has been guided by the many years she has spent trying to transform both the way that government approaches public safety and the outcomes it can deliver,” Mamdani said. 

“Our deputy mayor will oversee policy implementation, reform and expansion of B-HEARD to ensure that when New Yorkers are in a mental health crisis, they will actually receive the care that they need and that their only option is not simply a police response.”

The Behavioral Health Emergency Assistance Response Division (B-HEARD), a pilot program that launched in 2021, consists of a team of health professionals, including paramedics from the New York City Fire Department and mental health professionals from NYC Health + Hospitals that respond to 911 mental health calls.

Mamdani said there are “a number” of calls that come in each day that are deemed eligible for a B-HEARD response, but the city is limited in its capacity.

“[The executive order] imbues our deputy mayor with the policymaking expertise and power to ensure that B-HEARD is actually living up to the spirit of its intention,” he said. “

Our deputy mayor for community safety is not just going to be working within this portfolio. She’s also going to be in every single room where we are making the most critical decisions about the future of this city, ensuring that the lens of community safety is also being applied.”

Speaking on potential issues with the new public safety plan, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said “there will be some mistakes.”

“That happens everywhere. It happens in the police department,” Williams said. “Most of y’all are not saying, ‘Let’s dismantle the police department.’ As we move to this journey, which is the correct journey, and the nation is watching us, let’s work together. 

“So, when we get to those bumps in the road, we can pave them out and make them smooth. Because this is about finding a way to allow our police officers to do the job that is best suited for them. Stop asking them to do the job of everyone.”

After the announcement, New York City Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Jessica Tisch issued a statement saying she is looking forward to working with the team to “ensure New Yorkers get the support they need” while NYPD “officers remain focused on the work they are trained to do.”

“Keeping New Yorkers safe requires more than one approach,” Tisch said. “It means making sure people have access to the resources and services they need, whether that’s career training, an after-school program or a police response.”
