It’s looking more likely that NFL season will be cancelled.

Mayor of NYC just said that September would be the earliest he sees big public gatherings again. I just can’t foresee a scenario in which the NFL season goes on at this point. No OTAs, no training camp, no mini camp and NY not even thinking about large gatherings until September. Yes, this is looking bad.

That’s absurd...you can’t shut our country down for a year and a half

Then re open everything business as usual and let the virus runs its course. OR another plan. Have those that are high risk of dying self quarantine. Set guidelines, for those over age of 70  and with the following health conditions, stay home

I've had the feeling for a while now that the season won't be played as normal.  But, I'm not sure it will be completely cancelled.  I think they'll end up starting camp in September or October, and play games the following month.  My guess is that they'll end up with like an 8-10 game season.  

With that said, I wonder what they will do with next year's draft if there is no season this year.  PFT had an article about it.  Most likely, they would probably do something along these lines.

2021 Draft If No 2020 Season

Quote

hockey came up with a three-tiered lottery to determine who would get dibs on him. Three balls, two balls, or one ball were handed out to all teams based on performance in the three prior seasons. Teams who hadn’t been to the playoffs at all and hadn’t had the No. 1 overall pick in any of the four prior drafts received three balls. Teams with only one playoff appearance or one No. 1 pick received two. Everyone else got one.

Start the season in feb, Super Bowl Sunday a couple days before 4th of July, what’s more American than super bowl right at Independence Day? Instead of playing in bitter cold in the dec and Jan months, you will just play in bitter heat in the June and July months, so you still are playing in the elements. Could be interesting

The country isn't going to be shut down for a year and a half.  States are going to be in varying levels of lockdown probably into the summer, then certain restrictions will start being lifted very slowly, and then there will be multiple outbreaks that will hopefully be contained better because we've bought our healthcare infrastructure some time.

I don't think the start will be that late, but they could decide to extend the season into March, or even April.  But that would likely require reducing the offseason program and likely pushing back the draft until May or June. 

Ideally, I think they would prefer to play the Super Bowl no later than early March (maybe on Sunday, March 7th).  That would allow for FA and draft prep while still keeping the draft in late April or maybe moving it back by only a week or two.

The thing is that they still need to prepare for the 2021 season.  So unless they are willing to have two truncated season back to back, I think they will do everything in their power to be done with the season early enough to give players a reasonable amount of time between finishing one season and starting the next.

I don’t read that as the nfl is cancelled... yet. What better way to comfort America than give them football.

      Week 11: Other NFL Games

      Jets are so screwed they think they're getting a leg up by not announcing who is starting at QB lol. That being said Tyrod still might be an upgrade to our qb room.

      It's his lauch pad throws. In school he was behind great blocking and it's like he ran into his throws that went down field to WRs that had so much space they could adjust and still be ahead of the DBs.

      'Bama QB Swap in Offseason?

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      We don't know 1) where we're going to end up picking in the draft, or 2) what QBs will even declare for the draft, let alone which ones will be worthy of considering in the 1st round. That being said, I feel like our best bet may be to pursue a veteran with some upside that could be at worst a productive stop-gap until we can draft our actual QB of the future and, at best, another Baker/Darnold/Daniel Jones late bloomer redemption story. So... Mac Jones, anyone? The 49ers have him under contract for 2026 and will almost certainly entertain offers for him after his performance this season. Also consider that while many here have soured on Bryce Young, there are almost certainly still executives in the league that would take a shot on developing him as a former 1st overall pick. If there is one team - and one coach/scheme - that could get the most out of Bryce Young it's probably Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. I wonder if they would be interested in a swap of former Alabama star QBs with 1st round pedigrees? You could argue which team might have to throw in some additional compensation, but it could be a good deal for both teams. The Panthers would get a QB who would be an immediate upgrade with potential to be that next Baker/Darnold/Daniel Jones redemption story and the 49ers get a backup to Brock Purdy with a skillset that Kyle Shanahan might just be uniquely qualified to tap into it. Any takers?
