“Take care of your families, your health, and be ready this summer,” Payton was quoted as saying, with general manager Mickey Loomis confirming the coach’s comment during his pre-draft news conference.
Payton shared the news in a video conference with more than 80 players on Wednesday morning. He said the Saints will not have a team-led offseason program even if the NFL rules change and allow players to return to their facilities.
“No virtual workouts, no online meetings, no workouts at the facility, even if it’s allowed,” Payton was quoted as saying. “Show up in July for training camp in the best shape of your life.”
