The NFL announced dates for the unemployed training programs of each team last week.
The first day of the Viking voluntary offset program begins on April 21 in Eagan.
Organized team activities (OTA) take place from May 27 to 28, May 30, June 2 and 2, June 5 and June 16 to 18.
The compulsory mini-cap will take place from June 10 to 12.
The collective negotiation agreement stipulates that the teams are limited to 10 days of training for the OTA over four weeks.
Live contact is not authorized, but the teams can exercise complete training.
OTAs generally do not hold too much attention from fans – apart from the questions outside the field, such as contractual disputes – but this year will be different.
It will be the first time that the second-year quarter of the JJ McCarthy has obtained all training representatives with the first team offense.
The team wants McCarthy to be the starter But still don’t have anointed Because they want to see what it looks like this spring.
McCarthy missed all the last season after him torn his meniscus.
“When we have shared the resources we have made to write JJ, and you go through this long process and all these things, this is the result we want and this is the result to which we are heading,” said General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah a few weeks ago at his out-of-season press conference.
Adofofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell each said in a perfect world, McCarthy would be their starter, given the draft of the capital they have invested in him and the small salary he commands on his recruit contract. It would be surprising to see that not to materialize.
However, McCarthy is also Only the quarter of the history of the NFL Being chosen in the first round and missing all your season recruited due to an injury.
And until the team cements its starter position, the questions and the intrigue will persist.
The off -season program lasts nine weeks.
The Recruit Minicamp has not yet been planned, but will occur at the beginning of May after the NFL draft, which begins on April 24 in Green Bay, Wis.
