For those who are unaware of the new CBA rules when it comes to off-season Organized Team Activities (OTAs).
The new CBA divides the offseason into three “phases,” each one allowing a little more coordinated activity than the last. Phase I is mostly just an opportunity to get in strength and conditioning work; there is no interaction between coaches and players allowed on the field (other than strength coaches) and almost no use of an actual football. Phase II allows organized work by offenses and defenses, but not against each other, and helmets are still not allowed. Helmets (but no other pads) are added in Phase III, when teams can run offenses and defenses against each other. There is no live contact allowed in any of the three phases, and no one-one-one drills such as OL/DL pass-rush work.
The Buccaneers were allowed to begin Phase I two weeks ago due to having a new head coach. Today will begin Phase II.
