Which makes me wonder. Would these players opting out opt IN if there was a bubble?

If there was a bubble more guys would opt out, you think any dudes with young children or families would be cool leaving for 6 months?

Absolutely. I know that's what's going on.

There should be an opportunity to allow people to come into the bubble as long as they quarantine correctly. It would be sacrifice for sure though. There is no reason wife and children couldn't come into the bubble once quarantined although that would be a much bigger obstacle for children.

That is why the answer may be a shorter season. 8 games with playoffs more manageable.

That's the list so far, guys like Star Lotulelei are leaving lots of money on the table.

Why did they sign Cam then? He’s good enough to keep them from a top 10 pick.

That's a tough one, there are some good players opting out, we're literally 1 or 2 big time QB's opting out away from the conversation of "should there be a season?"

:facepalm:

You sure do seem like you’re rooting for that to happen.

Mark Anderson has diabetes. Cameron Heyward has asthma. Von Miller has asthma and already got it..what if he gets a different strain and goes through this again?

Just ****ing cancel the season. It’s going to watered down shit by the time all these guys opt out. That’s not even counting a single player getting the virus heya be missing time

It's a realistic conversation to have, more names are coming out pretty consistently of guys not playing.

A big name player, especially a QB would get that talk started.

Wake me up when a top 100 player opts out.

The biggest thing here is a lot of them are lineman because overweight guys have a higher chance of having complications, seems they know that.

Donta Hightower, Patrick Chung and Marcus Cannon ring a bell? Those guys aren’t JAG’s

Eddie Goldman is one of the better DT's in the league right now.

And nowhere close to top 100. Good grief.
