NFL teams get war room options

April 2, 2020

NFL teams get war room options … Earlier today the NFL circulated to all teams the potential options for their draft day operations. Based on communications between the league’s management council and team IT departments, the NFL informed all clubs that their are two scenarios currently being considered by the NFL. One would allow teams to operate out of their facilities or an alternative off-site location, but with limitations on the number of team personnel permitted. The second option would be for team officials to operate from home with a clear prohibition on the number of club personnel permitted at any one residence. Which is pretty much what most of us are doing these days. What the memo didn’t mention was how the league would handle the centralized operation of the draft. Presumably it would be out of New York where NFL HQ is located, although last we heard was that New York was pretty much shut down these days as it is at the very epicenter of the pandemic. Otherwise good plan!!
