In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the start of the National Football League’s offseason program will look drastically different this year.
With all team facilities closed until further notice, the NFL and NFLPA have now agreed to the terms of a virtual offseason, which will begin April 20 for clubs with new head coaches and April 27 for all other teams around the league.
The voluntary program will include classroom instruction, workouts and non-football education programs conducted in a virtual format. No teams are allowed to resume activities at club headquarters until all 32 teams have been safely cleared to return.
While participation is voluntary, players who opt into the program will be eligible to earn their off-season workout bonuses. Should team facilities remained closed by the scheduled start of minicamps, clubs may conduct a virtual minicamp for veteran players.
