The NFL is making some changes in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The league issued a memo to teams regarding new temporary rules for free agency, the use of club facilities, and off-season team activities. ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared the text of the memo.
The main takeaways include:
– Free agent visits are effectively banned for now (teams cannot bring in players for visits or go to meet with them)
– OTAs are being delayed indefinitely
– NFL players are not allowed to enter team facilities from March 17-March 31, with the exception of players who were already under contract with a team and receiving medical care at the facility.
Here’s the memo:
