The last task before the really quiet period.
The Jets are set to open their organized team activities (OTAs) today.
This commences the third and final phase of the offseason program.
Phase 3 is a four-week period that consists of 10 OTAs. Teams can have a maximum of three OTAs in each of the first two weeks and a fourth non-OTA workout is allowed but with Phase 2 rules (no offense vs. defense, no one-on-ones, no helmets).
Live contact is not permitted and players are not allowed to wear shoulder pads, but they can wear helmets. Teams can conduct 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills and players can be at the facility for no more than six hours per day.
These are thus fairly limited practices. In this quiet period, they are still sure to drive attention since there isn’t much else to talk about.
Are the results signficant? Not really. It’s not like you would care if somebody strung together three straight good practices in October. To the extent these are significant, it is to hear whether it sounds like developing players like Malachi Corley are making any progress. You also might hear Aaron Glenn offer some insight on the depth chart or how he plans to deploy certain players.
The entire offseason program is voluntary aside from a minicamp that will take place June 10-12. The Jets have had over 90 percent attendance through the first two phases, however.
