The NFLPA asked the league to "reinforce the rule about pressuring players to attend the voluntary workouts".  That's what the NFL did.

Another "source" said that there were threats of fines and/or loss of OTA time from the NFL.  That has not been confirmed and is not "fact".

This non-story is getting blown out of proportion.  The sports "media" is trying to gin up a story that doesn't really exist.  Coughlin never "pressured" or "threatened" any players, he simply stated an opinion.  The league did not issue a warning, they simply "reminded him of the rules regarding voluntary workouts".  Nothing more.

It is NOT "objectively true" that the league issued a warning.

Yes he was reminded of the rules and was quite literally warned that any future comments could result in a fine or loss of practice days. The other 31 front offices were not sent a warning letter about this, Coughlin was the only one.  

Unless you have any sources claiming he wasn't warned in the letter, bar yourself of course.
