NFL Combine 2016: Press conference schedule
Every coach and general manager will be speaking to the media at the Combine this week.
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
The players’ workouts and drills will get the bulk of attention this week, but the Combine is also a place where executives and player agents will mingle. While no negotiations are allowed until the “legal tampering” window of March 7-9, you can expect plenty of “unofficial” conversations from agents trying to get their clients’ names out there.
The first two days of the Combine are packed full of press conferences from every head coach and general manager in the league. They will all be available to the media on Wednesday and Thursday in 15- and 30-minute segments. While we may not get a lot of straight answers, we can expect plenty of hints from teams as to their offseason plans, so these short pressers are usually worth paying attention to.
Here is the complete schedule, courtesy of NFL Communications. The press conferences can be viewed live on NFL.com.
