Default NFLPA updates agents on free agency in age of COVID-19

The tampering period has begun, COVID-19 be damned. And the NFL Players Association has shared information with agents regarding the procedures for the annual chase for veteran players whose contracts officially expired on

“Today, the NFLPA and NFL Management Council will be discussing issues relating to the 2020 League Year given the health and safety issues we are facing regarding COVID-19,” the memo explains. “While the start of the League Year is not being delayed, issues to be discussed include the logistics relating to clubs asking players to take physicals to facilitate trades and free agent signings. We will update you once those discussions are concluded. Thank you for your patience.”

These events are playing out at a time when there’s an increasing sense that a national quarantine could be imposed within the next 48 hours. If it happens, the deals to which teams and players agree won’t be finalized until the quarantine ends and physicals can be conducted.

That could be weeks. It could be longer. And with the NFL determined to conduct the draft on April 23-25, there’s a chance that teams will be signing draft picks before they officially sign their free agents.

With the video conferencing capabilities we have today, I would guess a lot of FA meetings could be done this way to minimize travel, personal contact, etc.

We could see some real innovation born of necessity during this time. Brilliant minds will be mobilized to think outside the box and make things move into the 21st century at last.

Sean Payton: "If people understand the curve & understand the bump, we can easily work together as a country to reduce it. Take a minute to understand what the experts are saying. Just that type of small investment by every one of us will have a dramatic impact."

I am going to go ahead and predict right now that there isn't going to be a 2020 NFL season because of coronavirus. I hate to do it and I hope I'm wrong, but we're just getting started with this thing and it's going to get much worse.

No MLB or college football either. Sucks

And some think it will be back strong in the fall/winter. I guess thats what happened with the Spanish flu, second wave was worse. Maybe c&o can weigh on his experiences during that time (1918).
