What are NFL OTAs?
NFL teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or "OTAs". No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.

When do OTAs start in 2024?
OTAs begin for most NFL teams on May 20, 2024 and run over a 3-week period.

Saints Offseason Schedule 2024
---------------------------
Saints First Day: April 15
Saints Rookie Minicamp: May 10-12
Saints OTA Offseason Workouts: May 21-23, May 28-30, June 3-6
Saints Mandatory Minicamp: June 11-13

Voluntary offseason workout programs are intended to provide training, teaching and physical conditioning for players. The calendar for 2024 is below.

As per Article 21 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, each club's official, voluntary nine-week offseason program is conducted in three phases:

Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.

Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual or group instruction and drills, as well as "perfect play drills," and drills and plays with offensive players lining up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted.

Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or "OTAs". No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.

Article 22 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement stipulates that clubs may hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players. This minicamp, noted below, must occur during Phase Three of the offseason program.

New head coaches are entitled to conduct an additional voluntary veteran minicamp. Any voluntary minicamp for veteran players must be conducted prior to the NFL Draft (April 25-27), but no earlier than week three of the club's offseason workout program and after at least one week of the two weeks of Phase One activities that the clubs may hold pursuant to Article 21. This year, eight clubs will hold voluntary veteran minicamps, as noted below.

Each club may hold a rookie football development program for a period of seven weeks, which in 2024 may begin on May 13. During this period, no activities may be held on weekends, with the exception of one post-Draft rookie minicamp, which may be conducted on either the first or second weekend following the draft. The dates of each club's post-draft rookie minicamps will be circulated at a later date.

[turboduran]

Let's go DC4🏈 no excuses in offense this season let's get it💪😡

[awhitness]

9-8 last year. one win from the playoffs. Carr was coming together at the end of the year. Go Saints!

[WaveSamu]

[aaronholmes]

If we have a run game we will be hard to beat.

[Krixzty]

[larryholmes]

He will be Great this yr Dr.carr for captain

[mitchpabst]

It would be amazing if you guys could get some sort of mic on the reporters so that we can clearly hear the questions that were asked.

[danielbenjamin]

Derek Carr 1 of the best ota mini camp quarterbacks of all time

[hermanstewart]

Barring any injuries, I think this type of offensive scheme is just what the saints needed. They will go farther than last season. Your absolutely right Derek.

[Black_heartTTK]

When Derek Carr says "Listen, I told my wife this" listen up. He's speaking from his soul.
First QB we've had since Drew that I genuinely love. This guy is about to put the doubters to sleep, I think.

[moneymaud]

Going into this off-season and season, Carr no longer has

1) uncertainties of being a starting QB in the NFL
2) uncertainties of where he will end up
3) uncertainties of how the family will adjust to a new scenery.
4) uncertainties of locker room vibe and chemistry
5) uncertainties of chemistry with the coaches

Whoever thought Carr was supposed to be lights out after all that was delusional. Especially with a shaky oline, diva attitudes, and Taysom taking a fraction of the snaps. But still, going 9-8 for the season was still impressive. Could've been better and playoffs if that GB and Detroit game had a different outcome. The only negative I see, and could be huge, is Kubiak being Carr's 10th OC in 12 years. WhoDat!!!

[BillyTimes-dwvs]

Dam i can't wait to see this new offense. Go

[jeremiahcole]

I like how he's incorporating sign language into the interview

[kickbackbrosgaming]

We dont need dc4 to be great i just need him to manage the game and make plays when they present themselves
