By now, or at least around this time, all NFL teams should be preparing to enter Phase One of the offseason program, which truth be told basically just consists of players using the weight room at their team facilities. There is no on-field work and no football-related contact with coaches are allowed. Only strength and medical coaches can interact with players.
Given that all facilities are closed down amid the Covid-19 pandemic, it goes without saying that not even this aspect of the offseason program is possible. Over the past few weeks, the NFL and NLFPA has been working on creating a new ‘offseason program’ for the circumstances, which has genuine implications for all players who have workout bonuses.
