That was a savvy move to get a veteran who has started many games at multiple positions as insurance. |

It's jealously, what some fans should realize is they aren't NFL players nor is the NFL like your job so stop comparing. |

If virus safety is your concern, then there is arguably no safer environment to be in currently than to be actively part of a professional sports team.
Even in MLB, the positive test rate is well below the positive rate in most states. The current positive test rate in the NFL is 2% and they have access to world class facilities that are following the most strict social distancing/mitigation protocols available, with access to unlimited resources/technology (including daily testing). Not sure why anyone who had access to that would voluntarily give it up unless they plan to live a life of 100% absolute strict self-quarantine/lockdown. |

I figure the guy's decision is his own, so he can do whatever he wants. However, as we've always heard, the first $1 million is the hardest to get. If I was a rookie mid-rounder on my first contract, I'd be very reluctant to opt out if I'm a normal risk profile. You might end up disappearing off the roster never to return.

I was reading an article about the safety precautions that the league is taking and something I found to be pretty cool is that all players and staff have to wear proximity monitors, so that accurate contact tracing can take place if someone becomes infected. They are also doing testing every day for the 1st 2 weeks of training camp and if the percent positive drops below 5%, then they go to every other day testing.
Does anyone know if baseball is doing any type of proximity monitoring? Seems that would be the absolute best way to keep an outbreak from happening. |

You have no idea what these players are going to do. Maybe some will go out and be dumb asses, but to act like all of them wont be taking proper precautions is just stupid. You seem to always have something stupid to post.
