  • The NFL has officially announced the calendar for the 2025 offseason workout program, maintaining the established three-phase structure outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
  • Phase One focuses on meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation, with no on-field drills allowed during the first two weeks.
  • Phase Two permits on-field workouts, including individual and group drills, but prohibits live contact and team offense vs. defense drills.
  • Phase Three includes 10 days of organized team practice activities (OTAs) with limited contact drills and one mandatory minicamp for veteran players.
  • New head coaches are granted an additional voluntary minicamp before the NFL Draft, and teams can hold a seven-week rookie development program starting May 12.
