Phase two will be OTA's and offseason workout and that will happen over the course of three weeks.
Then there will be a mandatory mini camp held on June 4-6.
Teams can work out and run drills during this time, but there is no contact and no pads. All players must be present for the mandatory mini camp. There will also be a rookie mini camp right after the draft.
