NFL, NFLPA agree to updated “virtual” voluntary offseason workout program

The NFL and NFLPA have reached an agreement on how players and teams can conduct offseason voluntary workout programs. According to a report laid out in a series of tweets, NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero notes the workouts will go on despite the coronavirus pandemic-related closures of NFL training facilities and limits of people allowed in one place.

Right now, all NFL team facilities are mandated by the league to remain closed. That closure will remain in effect for every team until all 32 teams are able to open their facilities in accordance with local regulations.

Teams will be able to conduct the workout sessions with players via teleconferencing apps for three weeks, beginning on April 20th. They must be completed by May 15th.

One interesting note: teams will be allowed to send players training equipment up to a value of $1,500.
