I would prefer a longer, mandatory training camp. This optional stuff is ridiculous. Either they want to work to build a cohesive unit or they don't.

For what these players sacrifice, with the greedy owners cap controlling while lengthening the season......the players should take every minute back that they can.


You want mandatory?! Let the owners and their shill (Goodell) open up the coffers, pay these players what they deserve and go back to a 16 game schedule.
From Simms to Eli (with an assist from Hoss) our Super Bowl Quarterbacks. Great defense and clutch QB performances...NY Giants Championship football.

I have an old profile still floating around: andrew_nyg....I am one and the same!

Sadly, the pattern we have seen is the the owners are more than willing to sacrifice the quality of the product for more money.  That's why the owners traded away practice time for a bigger piece of the pie.   In the end, we have seen lower-quality games and a chronic shortage of offensive linemen due to the owners greed.



To the point of this post, the football season is already a long grind.  I think it's fool-hardy to eliminate the OTAs and lengthen the training camp.  I could see value in making OTAs mandatory, but not in what is being proposed.

I agree 1 billion percent!!! Baseball and basketball have fully-guaranteed contracts. NFL needs to do the same.

Will this have an issue on the contracts? The Giants had a few players with voluntary attendance built into bonuses.

That's a good question.  Unfortunately, I haven't heard an answer.

I assume it would be the same for players with school age kids.  Of course school schedules differ geographically.
