Dallas Cowboys | My Three Major Factors on ( OFFENSE ) + My Thoughts on The NFL Season 2020

When will the 2020 NFL season start? "As a league, and in partnership with the players' association, we will continue to prepare and to adjust where necessary," commissioner Roger Goodell said during a recent media teleconference. "I think this offseason has looked a lot different than it has in the past. We are proud that our key activities, such as free agency, the league year, the offseason programs and of course the draft, demonstrated that we can operate in new and innovative ways, so we are prepared for the 2020 season." That leaves a two-week window, from June 15 to 26, when the NFL could potentially allow players to return for on-field workouts. For scheduling purposes, teams have saved the one mandatory event -- a three-day minicamp -- for potential use in that time frame. But there is no guarantee that the NFL will be ready to utilize that time. And even if teams receive that authorization, it's possible that some will opt against a scramble to bring players from all over the country into the facility for such a short period. "We've got to get this right," said Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president of football operations. "We're coming out of phase 1, going into phase 2, and we have to assure the general public and our players that our protocol and procedures [work]. We can't miss. We just can't fail. So rather than saying, 'Yes, we're going to do this,' we have time. We have to be right. We are really taking a responsible approach on a daily basis. It's changing daily."
