The Jets have the dates for their offseason workouts.
According to Dennis Waszak of the Associated Press, New York’s first day of offseason workouts will begin on April 8. Voluntary minicamp will begin on April 23-25, while OTAs will occur May 21-23, May 28-30 and June 10-13. Lastly, the Jets’ mandatory minicamp will take place June 4-6.
The Jets could’ve started their offseason workouts this Monday, but decided to start next Monday instead. This allows them to go through the entire offseason program without a week off.
Throughout offseason workouts, there is no contact allowed. The Jets and the rest of the NFL can start putting on the pads when training camp begins. The point of these workouts are for the coaches and players to become familiar with each other. With a new coaching staff in place, both New York’s offense and defense will have to learn new schemes.
After the last voluntary OTA, the Jets will be off until the start of training camp, which begins in late July.
