Report: Saints HC Sean Payton Tells Players There Will Be No Spring Team Workouts

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton told his players on Wednesday that the team will not hold any formal offseason workouts or have any type of program this spring, according to ESPN's Dianna Russini.

"Show up in July for training camp in the best shape of your life," Payton reportedly told the team. “Take care of your families, your health and be ready this summer.”

Payton is the first known coach to reportedly relay that message to his team.

Last week, the NFL and NFLPA agreed to modified offseason workout rules as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
