The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) wants to push for changes to the offseason workout program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is working to finalise a proposal to overhaul the offseason starting as early as 2025. This will eliminate voluntary on-field work in the spring in favour of a longer training camp ramp-up, with platers reporting in mid-June to early July. NFL Network Insider <\/a>Tom Pelissero reported on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A formal proposal from the NFLPA is expected this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under new management since July 2023, the NFLPA has asked players for feedback on adjusting the offseason schedule. Majority supported the changes, Pelissero reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present offseason workout program, which is generally bargained, is a voluntary nine-week offseason program, split into three phases. It includes meetings (Phase One), on-field individual drills (Phase Two), and organised team activities (Phase Three). Teams can perform one mandatory minicamp for veterans during Phase Three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most teams, the offseason program begins in mid-April and runs through mid-June. A roughly six-week summer break lasts until training camps begin in mid- to late July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since offseason work rules are collectively bargained, any changes by the NFLPA will require an agreement with the NFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Pelissero, the NFLPA has consulted medical and performance experts to provide a solution to reduce injuries and maximise players\u2019 recovery time. Under the potential proposal, virtual classroom work would still be allowed in the spring, but no practices until camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restructuring the NFL\u2019s offseason could break up the calendar, giving players an in depth layoff following a grinding season and a longer ramp-up period before the start of the campaign. This could prove helpful in avoiding soft-tissue injuries some players suffer during training camps under the current structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
