Right now, they are scheduled to start on time. You look silly complaining about how they waited too long to make a deal when things are starting on time.
Bullcrap.
In mid-June, things were trending downward in both cases and deaths. The cases started trending up but deaths kept trending down until early July. Right now daily cases seems to have plateaued, and deaths are trending up at a slow rate.
You have no clue whatsoever what things are going to look like in Sept/Oct/Nov. So stop acting like the NFL should have known in May what things were going to look like on July 28.
uhhhhhhhhhh no. Just no. There should not be an "opt in" for players who opted out.
You're not even being intellectually consistent. You complain about how tough it is for teams to build rosters because of how late the opt out date is, but then you want to allow those players the potential to opt back in?? So the Patriots would have to go 4-8 weeks without knowing if any of their 6 players are just going to show up out of nowhere? That would be an atrocious idea.
I have no problem whatsoever with a player who chooses to opt out but once they've made that decision, that's that.
