The NFL Players Association (AJNFL) told their players on a video conference call that there will be no preseason game this season, according to reports Mike Garafolo, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapaport of the NFL Network.
The news is not a surprise after the NFL offered on Monday not to play any game on the pre-season schedule.
The league originally offered to reduce the number of preseason games to two rather than four, but players preferred not to play any. The league offered only one preseason game on Monday before agreeing to eliminate the entire preseason schedule a few hours later.
Updates from NFLPA call with players tonight:
– No preseason games in 2020
– Union still pushing for longer ramp-up period in camp
– Roster sizes expected to be 80 to start camp
– General agreement on voluntary and high-risk opt-out
– General agreement on stipend if games lost– Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) July 21, 2020
