Said he wouldn’t do it even if it’s allowed. He’s not even going to do classes or study online. How do you guys feel about this?

Doesn’t matter... even if there is a season it won’t start on time anyway.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton told players Wednesday that they will not have any type of offseason program this spring, virtual or otherwise.

"Take care of your families, your health, and be ready this summer," Payton was quoted as saying, with general manager Mickey Loomis confirming the coach's comment during his pre-draft news conference.

Payton shared the news in a video conference with more than 80 players on Wednesday morning. He said the Saints will not have a team-led offseason program even if the NFL rules change and allow players to return to their facilities.

"No virtual workouts, no online meetings, no workouts at the facility, even if it's allowed," Payton was quoted as saying. "Show up in July for training camp in the best shape of your life."

Loomis said the team will still have communication with players throughout the offseason, but "we're not gonna be doing virtual workouts and things like that."

"I think [Payton's point] is more about, 'Look, pay attention to your family. Pay attention to keeping yourself and your family safe. Abide by the orders of each of the states that you're in. We'll handle the rest of it,'" Loomis said. "'Get yourself in shape. And then when we're able to get together, we'll move on and we'll have a great training camp and a great season.'

"And look, we have a lot of guys that we have great faith and trust in in terms of being in shape when we do get going in training camp."

Hmmmmm……..Well, I don't know what to think. We certainly WON'T BE IN GAME SHAPE.

I don't like this. Wrong Offseason to do this.

They only have to be in training camp shape. They will still be having training camp. It's only OTA's and mini-camps being eliminated. No big deal. You don't get into "game shape" during Spring activities.

Rookies are going to struggle league wide this year

lee909 · 04-23-2020, 06:16 PM

Only really might cause a issue with rookies. The FA brought in should slot right in without much issue.

UDFA/late pick rookies are gonna have to hit the floor running and work they ass off on St to make rosters round the league
