SUBJECT: Next Phase of Reopening Club Facilities

As discussed during our recent League Meetings, we are continuing the phased
process of reopening club facilities that began on May 19. The key principles underlying
the reopening plans have been (i) that reopening was permitted by state and local
regulations; (ii) that reopening was conducted consistent with the protocols developed
under the leadership of Dr. Sills and distributed with my memorandum of May 6, 2020;
and (iii) that reopening is conducted in a manner that is competitively fair.

To date, clubs that have reopened their facilities have done so in a safe and
effective way and reopening has not included coaching staffs to ensure competitive
equity. In the meantime, almost all states with NFL clubs have either relaxed limitations
on business activities and related “stay-at-home” orders or have announced plans to do so
in the near future.

Beginning next Monday, June 1, clubs may reopen ticket offices, retail shops and
other customer-facing facilities as long as the operation of such facilities fully complies
with state and local regulation. Employees of these operations will apply against the
current maximum number of employees (no more than 50 percent of staff in the facility, not
to exceed 75 persons, which is a total for all club locations). Clubs may also continue to
provide treatment and rehabilitation to players who were receiving treatment as of March
25, immediately prior to the date on which facilities were closed.

Clubs must continue to advise Dr. Sills of any incidence of Covid-19 in the
facility and Brendon Plack of any changes in government regulations that may apply to
club operations.

We expect that next week clubs will be permitted to include members of their
coaching staffs among the employees permitted to resume work in the club facility. We
are actively working with Governors and other state and local authorities in those states
that have not yet announced definitive plans and will confirm the precise date on which
coaches can return to the facility as soon as possible.

We are also continuing to work with the NFLPA on developing protocols that will
allow at least some players to return to your facilities on a limited basis prior to the
conclusion of the off-season program. We expect to begin sharing agreed-upon protocols
and additional information very soon.

If you have questions concerning this next phase of reopening, please call any of
Larry Ferazani, Jeff Miller, Jeff Pash, Dr. Sills or Troy Vincent.
