Last week, reports surfaced that the NFLPA was looking to eliminate OTAs and make training camp the brunt of the offseason. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan shared his opinion on whether he’s in favor of the potential change to the schedule:
“I think eliminating an offseason so you can have a seven-week training camp isn’t the best idea to me. They used to do that, but they did seven weeks because people didn’t make as much money and in the offseason, they had other jobs. They had to leave whatever jobs they were doing and they didn’t work out in the offseason, so you had to go to like a seven-week training camp to get guys back in football shape, which took a while.
