The National Football League might be allowing for team facilities to slowly reopen around the country, however, the players themselves are not yet ready to return.
Browns center and NFL Players Association president, JC Tretter, tweeted the following message on Tuesday.
“Players: our union has not agreed to any reopening plan. Any reports about coming back to work are hypothetical. You will hear from the NFLPA when there are new developments.”
Tretter’s tweet could be a reaction to the report by CBS Sports’ Charles Robinson that suggested head coaches could return as soon as next week and minicamps could be held beginning mid-June.
“We have the, I guess what you could call an advantage of we still have time before our season is projected to start,” Tretter said on a conference call May 19 via CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards. “A lot of the other leagues are trying to figure this out right now and trying to piece it together, and we still have time. I would not say we are at the point where we need to make an agreement.
“We are going to keep sitting back and making sure we make the right decisions for our players.”
