  • The NFL and its players' union have agreed on a strategy for conducting off-season training amid the coronavirus pandemic. Under the agreement, clubs can begin on-line workouts with their players on April 20, with no on-field work allowed until all 32 club facilities can reopen. The virtual period will consist of three consecutive weeks of classroom instruction, workouts and non-football educational programs using video conferencing technology. New head coaches can add extra voluntary sessions. Teams will be allowed to send players workout equipment and monitoring devices with a maximum cost of $1,500 per player. "Both our Executive committee and Board of Player Reps have voted unanimously to approve a virtual offseason program up until the start of training camp," the NFLPA said in a statement. "We will be sending out all the details and setting up calls with players and agents for how this will work shortly." Teams must pay players a daily rate as mandated by the collective bargaining agreement for completing online activities. Shelter-at-home orders aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus have forced the closure of all NFL team facilities. The 2020 draft is still scheduled to be conducted April 23-25, but it is to be a virtual affair with commissioner Roger Goodell introducing the selections from his home. Ceremonies and public events originally scheduled in Las Vegas have been cancelled. Draft television hosts and a limited number of commentators will be in-studio at ESPN's headquarters in Bristol Connecticut. A majority of the analysts, reporters and other experts will contribute remotely from home studios. The league will also use the broadcast to raise funds to support COVID-19 relief efforts. The 2020 NFL season is scheduled to start on September 10. bb/bgs
