Losing Cannon ain't nothing.
That's their starting RT and one of the few known quantities they could count on year in, year out on that line. He was especially good in pass pro. That hurts more than Hightower, IMO. |

Von Miller has asthma and has already had it, could get another strain. Cameron Heyward also has asthma. Why would he risk it? Not too mention all these lineman who have high BMI’s. More starting players will continue to opt out |

And the NFL failed at creating the proper incentives to have this season. |

I mean if it's true that it's a stipend that they're 'borrowing' against future earnings for, they're gonna give it back if they're in the league next year. Meanwhile those that think they'll be out of the league next season and never need to 'repay' it seem to be running the risk of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Time marches on here and if there IS a season and they don't play in it, they're probably done. For $150K? These guys really that hard-up for money? I can see it for guys on the fringes of rosters, but established veterans w/ a few years of sizeable paychecks and a few more years of football in front of them - boy that seems an iffy gamble to be taking. |

All of these linemen are 'obese' by BMI standards. They're all going to be considered to have co-morbidities. I was wondering if there wouldn't be an exodus of fat guys. |

There’s rumors he’s considering opting out |

Another lineman, these fat dudes seem concerned. |
