In his monthly column, Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy discussed the start of training camp and a proposal that would dramatically change the offseason.
column at Packers.com, Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said veterans will arrive for training camp on July 21 – 50 days from now – and rookies and select other players will arrive on July 17.
Instead of workouts and instruction building up to the three weeks of voluntary OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, training camp would begin in late June, with a lengthy ramp-up period which, as Murphy said, “could prove helpful” in limiting the soft-tissue injuries that “plague some players” during camp.
“Football is much more physical than baseball or basketball, though, and having five to six weeks off before the start of training camp is very beneficial to the players. This should be a topic that you hear quite a bit about in the next year.”
