NFLPA's Proposed Offseason Overhaul Faces Pushback

Coaches and executives express concerns over the elimination of spring workouts, citing potential disadvantages for rookies and new coaching staff.

The NFL Players Association aims to eliminate spring workouts and extend training camp starting in mid-June by 2025.
Veteran players would benefit from a longer offseason, but rookies might struggle with less preparation time.
Coaches argue that new systems and playbooks would be harder to implement without spring on-field work.
The proposal is not linked to an 18-game season but could be part of broader negotiations.
Some believe the changes could lead to increased participation in spring leagues for additional practice.
