Some important offseason dates are here for the Saints, as the NFL announced on Friday afternoon. We looked at the calendar for the league and New Orleans back in January, and this will give a few more things to highlight as we draw closer to training camp.

Saints Offseason Workout Dates

First Day: April 17
OTA Offseason Workouts: May 23-25, May 30-June 1, June 5-8
Mandatory Minicamp: June 13-15

Here's some important reminders regarding OTAs, which is mainly centered around no contact.

Workouts are strictly voluntary; Club officials cannot indicate workouts are anything other than voluntary
Maximum 4 w/o per week (no weekends), with one week being the mandatory minicamp (not permitted on weekends)
Contact work is prohibited in all workouts (e.g. "live" blocking, tackling, pass rushing, bump-and-run, etc.)
Intensity and tempo of drills should be at a level conducive to learning, with player safety as the highest priority.
Two weeks | Limited to strength and conditioning activities ("dead ball"); only strength and conditioning coaches allowed on field*
90 minute max on the field
Clubs can only specify 2 hours for players to be at the facility
Players choose the other 2 hours for weights, etc.

We should anticipate a Rookie Minicamp not long after the conclusion of the draft as well, and that should be announced at a later date.
