New England Patriots losing two days of voluntary OTAs due to violation of NFL offseason rules

The New England Patriots are losing two days of voluntary organized team activities, due to a violation of offseason rules, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. It helps to explain New England’s recent announcement of cancelling practice on Thursday. Another OTA practice next week has also been taken away, per Reiss.

While the New England Patriots have won an incredible amount under Bill Belichick over the years, it’s just the latest incident where the Patriots head man has shown blatant disregard for NFL rules. Two practices shouldn’t matter in the large scheme of things, but those practices are more important for rookies and players that are new to their roster than anything else.

Belichick wisely made the move this offseason to hire a legitimate offensive coordinator. He hired Bill O’Brien from the Alabama Crimson Tide.
