Sean Payton has informed players on the New Orleans Saints they will scrap their offseason programs this spring altogether.

"Take care of your families, your health, and be ready this summer," Sean Payton was quoted as saying.

Payton shared the news in a video conference with more than 80 players.

"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."
