Do players HAVE to be signed to attend TC?

The players go thru all the mini's and OTA's.. why not start TC if you are confident that a deal will be done in a day or two??

Is there a rule in CBA that prohibits players that are not under contract to attend TC?

Just wondering.

I don't know if there's a rule, but I'm sure the player wouldn't want to risk injury without first having signed a contract.

There's definitely a rule -- no participation in TC unless signed to a contract.

Wouldn't that same concept pertain to Mini Camps and OTAs?

I'm not so sure of this. Seems to me that we had guys in camp while unsigned a couple years ago. Certainly, something could have changed or my memory could be faulty (which is probably the more likely of the two) but seems as if we've seen this before.

Your right..............this is stupid.

:laugh2:

Remember when Spears missed the first day of camp when we drafted him because he wasn't signed yet.

There are no stupid questions but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.

I thought I read someplace, that players sign an injury selttlement contract that if an injury occurs in mini camps OTA's they will be compensated 1 year's salary based on their slotted draft position. I could be wrong though.

Hilarious.

No, really.

FWIW: I wasn't criticising the OP. I was merely offering superpunk what I felt was a better way of wording that saying, IMO.

Off you go...

I don't think anyone feels that you were criticizing the OP, just that you and punk make a great team

I was just wanting to clear it up in case anyone was confused.

Most notably, the O.P. I didn't want him/her to think it was a comment directed at him/her.

Well I am a Him... and I don't get offended.. And to clear up my question.. i was not saying it would be smart for a player to attend TC without a contract,, just wondering if they COULD.. or if it was part of the CBA and not allowed under the rules..

I was thinking that there was a rule, but then I swear that I remember something about somebody practicing at his own risk....I can't remember who it was or the team though.
