I have no idea, so I'll cosign your dumb question. Maybe the coaches and staff have to start working regular hours again come the 21st. I'm sure after the season, only the minimal number of people show up at the facilities.
 
At least now some players know to schedule their surgeries and rehab by that date.
 
hopefully the coaches and scouts ALL are required to work 12-hour days (minimum) to prep for the draft...keep doing mock, after conversation, after mock, after conversation until you hash out the big board

Each offseason, all 32 NFL teams hold a series of voluntary offseason workout programs.

These nine-week programs are conducted in three phases, per the collective bargaining agreement:

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

Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team practice conducted on a "separates" basis. No live contact or team offense versus 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.

Additionally, clubs may hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players. This minicamp must occur during Phase Three of the offseason program.

Typical Watkins, when he does provide information, it's incomplete.

"Phase One (April 21st) consists of the first two weeks of the program, with activities limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation."
 
What do voluntary mean?

Well, Twitter does limit the amount of text you can put into a tweet, so that could have played a part.

To be fair, it's just a tweet. There's always a follow-up article when they just tweet something like this. It wasn't posted until later when I was busy.
