NFLPA wants to change OTA’s and training camp

[RunKC]

Mid June? Man the NFL really is trying to make this league year round. They don’t like that dead period in Summer

End of OTAs? The NFL Players Association is working to finalize a proposal to overhaul the offseason starting as soon as 2025, eliminating voluntary on-field work in the spring in favor of a longer training camp ramp-up, with players reporting in mid-June to early July, per… pic.twitter.com/nQa9TmKCGO

Basically, the idea here would be to roll an extended, OTA-style ramp-up — strength and conditioning, non-padded work, etc. — straight into training camp without a six-week break/de-escalation in between. A major change. https://t.co/gVgVDiYmGj

So not an end to OTAs.. seemingly just a readjustment of when they’d be

They did something similar during Covid.. I believe most of the guys loved it for their bodies and such going into training camp https://t.co/BCAUCnsq0z

I think a summer league might be interesting if the League ever wanted to do that.

It could be all those guys who don’t have a great chance of making the roster but get invited to camp. UFAs, late round draft picks, etc.

Gives those guys a chance to show what they can do and “washed” players get a chance to show they still have it.

Maybe 6-8 games over the summer. Could play on small college fields or wherever.

I would think this would be better, especially if/when they go to the 18 game season.

Seems logical to me.
