But I'm putting in different work than most players. But working together, especially when a team has a new quarterback, cannot be compared to working on your own. Still, Johnson's point about making the workouts mandatory is one that should be considered. As it is, teams can only have one mandatory minicamp for veterans in the offseason unless the club has a new coach. In that case, there can be two.
Players are now more well-paid than ever.
Yes, there should be some restraints. If coaches had their way, they'd require players to be there all the time. It's one thing if you had 15 or 20 guys that weren't here. Some other teams are like that. For us, we've always had everybody here and it has paid off.
