spartacus Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 1 hour ago, MAJBobby said: you should opt out. Because if season cancels you are not getting that guarantee. That is what Feliciano is saying. Big guaranteed players are incentivized to opt out. Keeping their contracts fully in place. owners wanted a trigger to cancel the guaranteed money in a cancelled season. They got it. Players got the ability to opt out of the 2020 season as a concession below article indicates that if games are cancelled, guaranteed money will be deferred but not lost so chance to get paid in 2020, instead of complete push to 2021 https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-nflpa-reach-agreement-on-covid-19-adjustments-to-cba "In the event that games are lost for whatever reason, players with guaranteed money in their contract will still receive their compensation, though that money would come later on, "either next year or in the next year that he is a free agent," Rapoport reported."

machine gun kelly Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 It’s like Opt Out Watch now, hour by hour. I can understand Star, just guessing with his size, he may have cardiovascular or diabetes issues. Not my place to know with HIPA, but I was listening to WGR, and made sense when Brown made a comment. He said which I didn’t catch before the latest agreement states if they opt out, yes they get the $150,000 stipend, but their whole contract amortized this year will get moved to next year. If they play the season, and the season is cancelled short, the owners can only pay out the contract for how long the player worked. Hypothetically if I understood correctly, if a player makes $16 mil., but 5e season is cancelled in 8 games, that player would only get $8 mil., and the owners would not owe them for the rest of that year. If they opt out, the player’s $16 mil. Contract would be fully paid, but not until they come back. Again, one of you cap gurus correct me, but I just heard Brown go through these points an hour ago.

Warcodered Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Big name I thought might opt out was Matthew Stafford but I guess he's already reported for training camp and is already getting tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always say, "I got a bad feeling about this drop." Sorry, I instantly thought of Aliens when I saw your post (probably my favorite 80's movie). Edit: For the super young and the super old, this was a quote from the insanely amazing 1986 James Cameron movie "Aliens".

Saint Doug Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 This is a very difficult situation for players. If they are not stars and opt out of this season, they very well may lose their starting/backup positions for next year if their replacement shines. This is no different than when a player gets injured during the season. For many players, this may be the difference between being an NFL player and being out of the league.

The FDA is not going to knowingly skirt its own processes to bring something to market thats unsafe. Most likely what you'll see is a phased approach of the vaccine. It will be approved for limited intended use and patient population (the most high risk) and then slowly brought a long for the general population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
