No testing during the off-season.
That's actually completely backwards. They don't test during the season unless you're already in the program. Virtually all random tests is done during the offseason.

But how do players continue to smoke weed if the NFL tests for it? That's easy: For players who have not previously tested positive or been arrested on drug-related charges, the league's random testing for what it calls "substances of abuse" only takes place for approximately four months out of the year, all of it during the offseason.
According to the league's drug policy, that testing only happens between April 20 and Aug. 9, though players signed or acquired after Aug. 9 can be tested later than that if they haven't been already. In addition, rookies and any players not under contract with a team at the end of the prior season are also subject to pre-employment testing.

Like I posted before one of the pre draft rumors around CK was he tested positive while in college and some NFL teams were concerned about that although frankly most only worry about pot because the guy can get suspended, they're not concerned about the drug itself.
I have no idea if he's in the program already or not but I have to assume the NFL can test him now if they choose to. Wiki says hair tests work up to 90 days which makes shaving your head a non solution.
The Mercury News says so far they've been told there's no evidence a sexual assault took place, it's just a bizarre situation of her passing out in a hotel room with 3 men and waking up in a hospital room right now.
I would think if the NFL actually investigates they will in fact test him for pot since she claimed it was being used.
