Question

#11

Quote:The confusing part for me is the fact that rookies are allowed to practice before they sign their contracts. In my mind OTAs and TC are almost the same thing before preseason games start.

 

What happened to Sean Lee can happen to an unsigned rookie. Aaron Kampman tore his ACL during a non-contact practice while wearing shorts.
 

What happened to Sean Lee could happen to any player.  As you pointed out, Kampman tore his ACL during non-contact drills.  That's more common than you would think. 

 

Because of the way rookies are slotted under the new CBA, the fact that they're not under contract is irrelevant.  They will be, and it's generally known what their contract structure is going to look like.  Teams can't suddenly decide they're going to cut that deal in half because a rookie was injured in an OTA. 

 

Players are not permitted to participate in training camp or the preseason until they do ink a contract. 


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
