NFL-NFLPA Create Virtual Offseason

The Redskins, along with the New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, Cleveland Browns, and Carolina Panthers will have an extra week of "virtual offseason" training.

Whatever that exactly is.

Of course it's non-mandatory. It's four days a week.

We also wouldn't want to make things too hard for the players. They need more time off than they already get.

I guess this is better than having nothing under the current circumstances but this is far from a good situation.

Nothing replaces time in the building, film room and on the grass.

This is all voluntary as we know. Again, we wouldn't want to make things too difficult but I will just say this - nothing is truly voluntary.

If you don't show up or if you treat this lightly - coaches are going to pay attention and notice.

Jets can hold three weeks of their Virtual Program from April 27-May 15. They can resume their offseason virtual program on May 18 for six more weeks. So, Virtual Program ends June 26 at the latest.

Classroom activities can last a maximum of two hours/day between 11am-3pm ET

If I was a player that wasn't assured of a starting spot or was in the crosshairs in any sort of way, I would make sure that this is mandatory in every way.
