Players from two teams — the Broncos and Seahawks — released statements Tuesday saying they will not report for voluntary offseason workouts. Others figure to follow suit.
In-person workouts are scheduled to begin Monday, though the NFL Players Association has been adamant since the end of last year that it preferred a repeat of last season’s virtual workouts. In December, union president J.C. Tretter, a Browns center, wrote that he wanted offseason Zoom meetings to become permanent.
Last season’s virtual-only meetings came as a result of the coronavirus; teams didn’t gather for full workouts until training camp.
