Travis Benjamin opts out

Travis has had a nice little nfl career. Think he could have been fun with Shanahah and had a shot at a super bowl but not sure if he would have made the team.

I don't follow these dudes close enough to know anything about their immediate families, but assuming none of them have children or a spouse that have SEVERE medical issues this is about as stupid a move as you can make. NFL football is a young mans game. Get paid while you can because you only have so many good earning years. On top of that, 20-40 year old men in great health have almost 0% chance of ending up getting anything worse than a nasty cold IF they even get it. Their kids are basically immune to covid since it has no fatalities to children....these guys are wasting valuable earning years on a blown out of proportion pile of shiit.

Ohhhhh Boy! Let’s attack players for making personal decisions. We are selfish beings because we all want what we want, which is a season with football, anything that jeopardizes that is attacked! This mentality is exactly why this nation is a Covid Ecosystem right now!

Yup, it's curtains for two of our past players. If they were at the top of their game, I feel they would've played. At least this way they went out on their own terms and have both earned over 20 mil in their careers.

Agree, but they've both earned a fifth to a quarter of a million dollars and both would've barely made a team if they made it at all.

More children under the age of 17 in California died due to helicopter crashes involving Kobe Bryant than from Covid.

Oh, I get the statistics. But don't discount the stuff that goes through a new parent's mind. He probably has a swimming pool too. That's more likely to be a threat that Covid.
