The NFL offseason will follow the league’s draft in going virtual.
With players unable to gather at team facilities due to coronavirus concerns, the NFL and Players Association on Monday agreed to a deal that would permit voluntary virtual offseason programs to begin April 20, according to NFL.com.
For three weeks, teams will be able to use Skype, Zoom, or other video-conferencing tools for classroom instruction, workouts and non-football educational programs, and new coaches — like the Giants’ Joe Judge — will have the opportunity to run a voluntary veteran minicamp.
Club facilities can begin to open in accordance with federal, local, state and NFL protocols, though if at least one team is unable, no teams can use theirs.
Teams will also be permitted to send up to $1,500 worth of workout equipment to individual players, including monitoring devices.
The “virtual period” can go until May 15.
