NFL OFFSEASON WORKOUT PROGRAM DATES
ANNOUNCED
Voluntary offseason workout programs are intended to provide
training, teaching and physical conditioning for players. The calendar for 2017 is below.
As per Article 21 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each
club’s official, voluntary nine-week offseason program is conducted in three
phases:
Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with
activities limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation
only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field
workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team
practice conducted on a “separates” basis. No live contact or team offense vs.
team defense drills are permitted.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams
may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs”. No
live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.
Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates
that clubs may hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players. This
minicamp, noted below, must occur during Phase Three of the offseason program.
New head coaches are entitled to conduct an additional voluntary
veteran minicamp. Voluntary minicamps
for veteran players were conducted prior to the NFL Draft, but no earlier than
week three of the club’s offseason workout program and after at least one week
of the two weeks of Phase One activities that the clubs may hold pursuant to
Article 21. This year, five clubs held voluntary veteran minicamps, as noted
below.
Each club may hold a rookie football development program for a period
of seven weeks, which in 2017 may begin on May 15. During this period, no
activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of one post-NFL Draft
rookie minicamp, which may be conducted on either the first or second weekend
following the draft. The dates of each club’s post-draft rookie minicamps are
noted below.
For specific information and detailed offseason program rules,
please see Articles 21 and 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (beginning
on page 131), available on nflcommunications.com.
