Good to know that the most wealthy and powerful organization in US sports has taken the last few months to do...seemingly nothing

A common theme from leadership in this country.

Just like college football, they simply thought that with time things would be figured out.  Hope isn't a plan however.

Very perplexing - though not surprising. Camps start to open on Monday and players have received nothing from the league at all regarding any and all issues related to Covid.

Any grown man who goes by "Woody" is bound to have issues.

It's a whole lot to give up just for the right to reset the market for him, to be sure

Yup. He does do more than your typical safety with his pass rush ability, but still ... two firsts and then some for a safety is nuts. Plus, you wonder how this affects their ability to re-sign Clowney.

Eddie Goldman, Devin Funchess (among others) opt out of 2020 season. Patriots up to six guys opting out.

I don't blame any of them.

To be perfectly honest, they're stupid.  They're throwing money away.  Ride it out, and WHEN things go bad you pull out.  Good faith is important in contract law.  I understand their concerns, i do... but it is important when you make your stand.

They should do whatever they're comfortable with. If they have enough money, are responsible with it, and decide it's not worth the risk, good for them. If teams decide not to pursue them in the future because they sat out during a worldwide pandemic, so be it.

Right, but they're being stupid.  There is plenty of time for all of that.  Its July.  Preseason is already canceled.

These guys aren't chess players.

Players have until Aug. 3 (next Monday) to declare if they're in or out. If they do, they'll receive a small (relatively) stipend and their contract will carry over to 2021. After that, with a few exceptions , players can't opt out without being in violation of their contract. That means not only won't they be getting their game checks, but teams also could seek to recoup past signing and roster bonuses.

Yup. Many of these guys that I've seen opting out have newborns or family members with preexisting conditions. I don't fault them for making the decision.

We are expecting our first child in a few weeks. I'm certainly taking more precautions than if we weren't expecting. I limit myself to one errand every few days and haven't done any restaurants. If we weren't expecting, I'd probably branch out a bit more. So, I'm expecting different people having much different risk thresholds.

Kenny Clark signs extension.  Record contract for a NT. 

Great for him and the Packers.  Really good guy and excellent and still young player.

Some real Tom Brady vibes from Kirk today https://nypost.com/2020/09/02/kirk-cousins-is-fine-with-getting-coronavirus-if-i-die-i-die/


As a Packer fan, we need to keep Cousins alive. Put him and Mitch into a bubble.
