NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement
Minicamps
Section 3Voluntary Veteran Minicamp
Any voluntary minicamp for veteran players must be conducted prior to the College Draft, but no earlier than week three of the Club’s offseason workout program and after at least one week of the two weeks of Phase One activities that the Clubs may hold pursuant to Article 21. In the event the NFL elects to move the College Draft to a date that would require the Club to schedule its voluntary minicamp for veteran players during a week that is earlier than week three of the Club’s offseason workout program or that would otherwise preclude the Club from holding a voluntary veteran minicamp, the NFLPA and NFL shall agree to change such rule and/or the rule set forth in Article 21, Section 2(d) regarding the earliest permissible starting date for new head coaches, to ensure that any eligible Club will be permitted to hold an additional voluntary veteran minicamp for veteran players. Voluntary minicamps for veteran players shall be subject to the rules set forth in Section 2 above.
