The NFL starts it’s new league year next week and the draft is about a month away but it doesn’t seem like the league has a definite plan on how to move forward while other pro sports leagues are busy canceling events due to coronavirus fears.
The NFL has told reporters that they will not move the date of the new league year but hasn’t given much detail for longterm plans which is frustrating team executives around the league.

Multiple NFL teams have already shut down their training facilities which means the NFL might have to eventually push back their new year.
