Does anyone know where you can find these to see what teams are allowed to require their players and stuff to do in the offseason?

While listening to the radio show it appeared to me that you're only allowed to have them at the compound so much during the offseason for workouts and drills and such.

How can the NFL put a limit on what a team requires their players to do? Is this not their employees? That's like someone coming into WalMart and telling them that they can't have their employees work but 20 hours a month from March to August and no more.

I just thought that was interesting that there are rules in place to put restrictions on how often, much, or long a team can have their players there doing things in the offseason.

The NFL players have a union. As part of their contract with the owners (The Collective Bargaining Agreement) there are limits as to what NFL players can be made to do in the offseason. Thats the difference between working at WalMart and working in the NFL. Walmart has no union. Offseason workouts are covered in Article 35 of the CBA. You can even download and read it here: http://www.nflplayers.com/images/fck/NFL COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT 2006 - 2012.pdf
