A new schedule for OTA? How the New Proposal Might Affect Jets.

If ownership approves a new idea, it has the potential to permanently alter the NFL offseason.

The NFLPA revealed a proposal to alter the offseason calendar and do away with optional exercises through the months of April and May, adding an unexpected twist to the 18-game negotiation window.

Rather, NFL Insider Tom Pelissero was the first to disclose that the “ramp-up” period would start in late June or early July and would immediately flow into training camp. There are many supporters and opponents of the change, as with every significant regulation proposal.

Positively, many of the scouts, coaches, and even players who would ordinarily be in the facility would appreciate the longer break between the NFL Draft and the start of camp.

The drawback of arranging workouts during the quieter part of the league year is that it eliminates many opportunities for scouts, coaches, and even players to interact with their families beyond the brief practices that follow the draft.

There are many players and coaches on the New York Jets who enjoy taking the month after mandatory minicamp off, but some would undoubtedly prefer to keep things simple by playing as little as possible during the summer.

The league is coming closer to implementing an 18-game schedule, which will undoubtedly encourage players to put in more practice time.In any case, it sounds like this is a story that will not be forgotten anytime soon.
