I mean, teams without playoff stop playing in january. And there you have many many months till the new season begins. In September. Isn't it too much?
No other sport has basically a short training camp in the middle.of the off season.The players need the rest. Plus the offseason goes by pretty quickly with FA, Draft and OTA's.

Could you imagine the NHL having OTA's at the beginning of august?
NFL needs the ota given the turnover in coaching and roster. They need to get the new playbook and meet up with new teammates.
OTA's aren't really like training camps. No pads, low intensity. They are essential for rookies though. Vets..not so much.
