NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith isn't looking to go back to the old way of doing things after the league made a number of adjustments in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"We believe that the science and everything we've talked about before, would strongly demonstrate that we'd be better off not having even the mandatory minicamp," Smith said on a conference call. "With respect to the conversations we're having with our players right now, it's all about the voluntary OTAs. If there was going to be a change to the mandatory minicamps, that would have to be collectively bargained.
