youll see more of this. better pay them to give them an incentive to play through a pandemic.

It's gonna be a very interesting NFL draft. I'm curious to see if those who opt out end up penalized come selection time.

I'm worried about Greg sitting out. He's a lock for the first round as of right now. I really don't see a reason to risk injury by playing this season for any player with 1st or 2nd round potential.

For what it’s worth the fans are pretty excited about Douglas Emilien (WR from American Heritage) that came in the 2020 class. This should open up some playing time for him.

Yeah, nobody's paying them.

Careful saying this. You might be called a troll.

This is crazy, unfortunately, I think it'll keep happening. Once some start withdrawing from the season, so many others will as well.

Umm, maybe he enjoys playing and has committed to a team.

Respect his decision. Dont for a second think some NFL guys won't question this decision and passion for the game. It will all be very interesting

hes NOt a lock if he doesnt play this year. so All possible first rounders should sit every year? because there is no Special, increased risk of injury this year...the Virus is the only thing different this year

Maybe you should be a Tampa bay vipers fan then, instead of a cane fan...pure Stupidity is a canes fan saying they want college football replaced by the XFL

100% unless u have 3-4 years of tape...a lot can change in two years

NFL don't care if you opt out. Just make sure you've enough on tape (at least two good years) and show out at the Combine. The best trait in the NFL is availability.

Look at the knock on King. He redshirted last year and was 1-3 in the 4 games he played. This year's film is crucial to his success.

or seeing that its unfair for these athletes to not see a dime of what they have rightfully earned while everyone else profits off of them

I think he is a puzzy. Play ball, MF'er.

All projected 1st and 2nd rounders in the upcoming draft should opt out. You’d have to be crazy to play this season.

If Greg Rousseau were anywhere near smart he’d be setting up a press conference to announce his decision to sit right now, today
