Although as it's the Seahawks the picks will probably be in the high teens or low 20s Good for the Jets but shows a lack of belief in the personnel department at Seattle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I would give the season any better than 50/50 odds of being completed with the way things are going, especially after the Marlins news yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is arguably the best safety in the league, while draft picks don’t pan out a lot. If Seattle gets to the Super Bowl with Adams playing a big part, this will have been a good trade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to keep in mind is some of the players are opting out for business reasons. For instance, the 2 players on the Ravens who opted out were not likely to make the team. So instead of risking getting cut and making no money, both took a guaranteed $150K from opting out. Smart business decision by both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Hightower, Chung and Bolden amongst the 6 to opt out for the Patriots. Bolden not such a blow for them, as they have loads of good RBs. But their Defence looks seriously depleted.Eddie Goldman has opted out for us. A shame, as he's steady as a rock and has barely missed a snap for us. You can understand it though. I think Hightower's wife just had a baby and his Mum has diabetes and Chung's wife is pregnant, so it will happen.Interesting about players doing it to have the guaranteed money. I hadn't thought of that. I think one of our undrafted RBs (something like Artavis Pierce) may have opted out for that reason.To be fair to undrafted rookies, it will ge even more unlikely for you to make a roster this season, as training camps aren't going ahead as normal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m under the impression that veterans under contract who opt out due to C-19 receive the $150K outright (obviously it would be paid out over the season). Those who have medical issues and opt out receive $350K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Still a little surprised they never scheduled the first 3 weeks of the season as a round of division games with the last 3 also being said games, that way if they had to lop off a bit of the season there would have been an obvious chunk. I fear this is going to end up in farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Chargers give Joey Bosa the largest guaranteed contract for a defensive player in NFL history. Worth every penny IMO. Yes I'm a Chargers fan, but I don't believe there's a more complete DE in the entire league. He's only 25 years old, so he should hopefully be playing to an elite standard across the length of the deal. He has the quickest hands of any DE I can recall watching in 35+ years of NFL, and unlike a lot of the top pass-rushing Ends, he more than carries his weight against the run as well. If Linval Joseph actually provides the solidity inside that the DL was wholly missing last season, then I'd expect Bosa to post 15-20 sacks provided he plays a full 16 game slate. Looking forward to watching him finally play fully healthy from the get-go once again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $350k for those with medical conditions is not a salary advance. I find it hard to believe it will ever have to be paid back if a player is cut. For instance, De’Anthony Thomas was likely not to make the Ravens. If they cut him next offseason or training camp, I doubt they will be like, “Oh, and we need that $150K back.” If you’re a fringe player who has made some cash, might as well take the guaranteed $ now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Clyde Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Quite a few players going onto the Reserve/COVID list.How long do they stay on the list for? Assume it's just a month or so if they've tested negative? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Matt Stafford placed on Covid IR by the Lions. Not hard to understand why he would opt out given his wife's medical history. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8471705/amp/Detroit-Lions-QB-Matt-Stafford-wife-Kelly-welcome-fourth-child-brain-surgery.html?__twitter_impression=true Edit: later tweets reporting that Stafford hasn't opted out, but returned a positive test having shown no symptoms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
