The NFL has cancelled its annual spring meeting, according to NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero (on Twitter). It was slated to take place in Palm Beach, Florida from March 29-April 1.
Instead, the league wil discuss potential rule changes and other orders of business on May 19. This is likely the first of several key league events to be 86’d for the coming days.
Earlier today, a team source told Ben Fischer of SBJ that he was frustrated with the league’s lack of communication regarding coronavirus plans. The NFL is now starting to take action, though the latest word is that free agency and similar key dates in the NFL offseason will go on as planned. As of this writing, the league has not put a stop to scheduled workouts and travel, though individual teams including the Jets, Giants, and Redskins have.
