In a move that’s likely to make some fans chuckle, the NFL and NFLPA just announced that they’ve reached agreement on a voluntary offseason program for 2020, starting next Monday, April 20, per Tom Pelissero.
The NFL and NFLPA have reached agreement on a voluntary offseason program for 2020, starting next Monday, April 20, per sources. The “virtual period” can begin next Monday, April 20, but — this is key — no on-field work until all 32 club facilities can reopen.

The “virtual period” can begin next Monday, April 20, but no on-field work can begin for the players until all 32 club facilities can reopen.
April 20 was annually celebrated as the start of random drug testing for players on the day that the country celebrates national marijuana day.
With the NFL no longer suspending players for positive weed test, it should be a relaxed day for players around the league.
