Quote:Why do rookies participate in OTA's/ minicamps before they are signed, but then refuse to participate in training camp until signed?

As proven with Sean Lee yesterday, bad injuries can occur even in this setting...

Because from what I understand, there are provisions in the CBA allowing participation in OTAs while not under contract. The same is not true for preseason. I seem to remember an old Ask Vic question about it, but no way I have the time to dig around for it today.

As for why they set it up that way, they've probably hit on the reasons up above. Important for the rookies to start learning the playbook right away even while negotiating and the injury risk goes up significantly once you get into pads.
