The NFL Players Association is proposing to eliminate on-field work in the spring, with players starting preparations for the season in June instead. This change could take effect next offseason if adopted by the league.

Key Points

  • Proposal aims to give players a longer offseason break
  • Virtual classroom work would still be permitted in the spring
  • Potential impact on rookies and teams with new coaching staff

Pros

  • Veteran players get a longer offseason break before starting preparations for the season
  • More time for players to recover from the previous season

Cons

  • Rookies may be at a disadvantage as they would have less time to adjust to the NFL environment and playbook
  • Teams with new coaches or coordinators may struggle to implement new systems with delayed on-field work
