NFL Considers Major Overhaul to Offseason Structure
Proposal aims to eliminate spring OTAs in favor of extended training camp starting in 2025
- NFLPA's proposal seeks to replace voluntary on-field spring workouts with a longer training camp.
- Players would report from mid-June to early July, with no on-field activity until camp begins.
- Union's consultation with players and experts suggests changes could reduce injuries and improve recovery.
- Implementation of the proposal would align with potential shift to an 18-game regular season.
- Formal proposal expected this summer, requiring NFL approval for changes to take effect.
