PFT- Teams change their approach to OTA's

http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

I know it's PFT but they make a valid point:

We're pleased to announce that our persistent effort to expose the reality that most if not all NFL teams are violating CBA provisions that prohibit contact during minicamps and OTAs has resulted in a decision by many teams to change their ways.
Sort of.
The talk in league circles in response to the photographic and video evidence publicized on this site of contact during offseason workouts is that teams will simply stop posting photos and/or video clips on their web sites containing images that could be regarded as a violation of the CBA.
Umm . . . . hooray?
We'd prefer to see something that actually addresses the problem. There's a rule on the books that isn't being enforced. Even worse, the enforcement apparently has been selective, given that the NFL and the NFLPA nailed the Redskins a year ago based on video containing images of linemen engaged in one-on-one drills.
Said tackle Chris Samuels at the time: "We're locking up, just working our hand placement and technique, but we're not, like, finishing guys or driving guys to the ground." Per a league source, the team's NFLPA player reps also told the union that the drills were no different than activities in which all other teams engage during the offseason.
So why do the Redskins get nailed in 2005, but not the Chiefs or the Eagles or the Packers or the Seahawks or the Colts in 2006?

Worth a read.
