Bet you NFL players would be fine with what they are currently doing if they knew they wouldnt be in trouble contract wise if they got hurt in an offseason program. Nfl would be fine with a 9 month season if their contracts were guaranteed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This should be the absolute first and foremost issue at hand. Why is the NFL still the only major sports league w/o fully guaranteed contracts. And if it's such a sticking point for ownership I would use it to maximize salary and medical benefits for the members. Basically the fact that every bargaining period diesnt start with "we will not sign a new deal that doesnt include fully guaranteed contracts" is a huge sign of how weak the NFLPA is.

Just no tackling I think it is less about the contact and more about the lack of full 5+ months of straight time off from being supervised by the team/organization.

European football has the same. Hell, many of the teams take their players abroad (the Middle East, East Asia, over here in the States) for parts of those preseason programs.

bucksavage1 315 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I don't think NFL players need offseason programs. Some players relied on the programs to get in shape. But without them, more of them would stay in shape outside. Meetings can be virtual too like it was last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
y*so*blu 1,349 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 There's being in shape for other sports and then there's being in football shape. Guys who don't stay sharp get outworked, outplayed, and injured. Organized offseason programs are the best way to guard against that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
