Saxum Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) http://espn.go.com/blog/jacksonville-jaguars/post/_/id/17769/jaguars-lb-myles-jack-hated-to-leave-but-hell-be-at-otas-in-spirit The day before linebacker Myles Jack had to leave the Jacksonville Jaguars on May 8 for a mandatory month-long ban, he tried to articulate just how frustrated he was at the NFL’s rule that prohibits rookies from participating in OTAs until the current senior class graduates at their school. Maybe he should talk to his union rep since they NFLPA is one who makes the rules; teams would be glad to allow signed players to attend since they do not require them to graduate. ESPN staff writer ought to credit blame where it is due too. According to NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis, there is no limit on a team’s communication with players impacted by the graduation rule. The Jaguars will be in regular contact with Jack, who left the facility with his team iPad loaded with the defensive playbook. Since the contract language was added by NFLPA in negotiations when current free agency was created the spokesman should tell full story. Edited May 19, 2016 by Koolaid
