Voluntary offseason workout programs are intended to provide
training, teaching and physical conditioning for players. The calendar for 2023 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 meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical
rehabilitation only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program.
On-field workouts may include individual or group instruction and drills, as
well as “perfect play drills,” and drills and plays with offensive players lining
up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from
defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. 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. Any voluntary minicamp
for veteran players must be conducted prior to the NFL Draft (April 27-29), 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, eight clubs will hold voluntary veteran
minicamps, as noted below.
Each club may hold a rookie football development program for a
period of seven weeks, which in 2023 may begin on May 15. During this period,
no activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of one post-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 will
be circulated at a later date.
For specific information and detailed offseason program rules,
please see Articles 21 and 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, available
