Dont'a Hightower and 4 other Patriots opt out of 2020 season
https://www.tmz.com/2020/07/27/nfl-p...ytZNH04RUDIiaM


Dont'a Hightower -- a 3-time Super Bowl champion and one of the leaders of the Patriots' defense -- has also chosen to sit out this season.
Hightower, according to NFL Network's Michael Giardi, just had a baby this month ... and his mom also has type 2 diabetes.
"Me and my fiancée are just more concerned with the health of our family than football," Hightower said in a statement to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "especially the new addition to our family."
The opt-out is a big blow for the Pats, Hightower recorded 71 tackles and 5.5 sacks for New England last season ... but he's also now one of FIVE Patriots choosing to forego the season.
Pats running back Brandon Bolden and offensive linemen Najee Toran and Marcus Cannon have also joined Hightower and fullback Danny Vitale in sitting out 2020.
There could be more on the way as well ... players still have until the end of this week to make opt-out decisions.

That also doesn’t count starters across the league who will inevitably get the virus and miss time.

Get ready for shitty TNF quality around the league

I'm going to be fair with Goodwin here, him and his wife have had a ton of issues with having children, he played in a game where his newborn son died that morning.

Oh for sure, but it was still very premature considering our defense hadn’t even started to gel.

Maybe it becomes easier for the Chiefs to repeat as Champs. Could be a very good thing.

Non-peer reviewed but this may explain why different areas have different severity of the virus.

"Analysis of data from the COVID Symptom Study app, led by researchers from King’s College London, reveals that there are six distinct ‘types’ of COVID-19, each distinguished by a particular cluster of symptoms."

I’d still watch but no matter what the SB winner would get the “does it really count?” treatment. The quality would be significantly worse as well with important players opting out.

Also if it means Andy doesn’t get this I would take a cancelled season. He’s a very high risk candidate. We need to see what their plan is for him.

I honestly never thought about that but yeah this could be a big issue if you have alot of OL opting out. Does any team want to put their franchise QB behind a practice squad OL?

Why would anyone with newborns be worried? The risk from some other disease is much much greater. There is literally no science to support that frame of mind.

Exactly. By that logic, anybody with a baby should be quarantined during flu season.
