Brees is right. There is no doubt in my mind the NFL cares first and foremost about money. It would not surprise me in the slightest if they bypassed a lot of medical advice/precautions in the pursuit of profits. 
 

I don’t think they play at all, but if they do, if I was a player I’d want to be very involved in the precautions and would be extremely leery  of anything the NFL does or doesn’t do.

I do not think there will be football this year. 

Thinking of someone like Greg Olsen...not sure what his family plans are since he is now a Seahawk...but his son with the heart issues...seems like would be at serious risk if he got the Covid virus.  I am sure there are many more players with vulnerable family members at home.

Until this thing gets under better control...and there is a vaccine I don't know how anything moves forward.

The NFL is ALWAYS behind. If the NBA can respect and put safety precautions in place to protect its players in the bubble, why can't the NFL do the same?

It's a lot harder for the NFL due to the number of people involved and the venue of play (there's a lot fewer NFL caliber football fields than there are basketball gyms). Also, our testing capacity is becoming strained again and you're talking about requiring a TON of tests to screen every player every other day. That's over 100k tests just for the players for the regular season. That's not including training camp, playoffs, coaches, and other personnel who will be around the players and needed to be tested.

They did. The NFL leadership all went in a soundproof bubble. It's so all the owners and Roger Goodell can hear the echos of their own opinions to self-reinforce.

I have the answer. NFL ISLAND.

These privileged NFL players need to stop whining.  The NFL has already said players who don’t feel comfortable playing can stay home with no penalty.  If they don’t want to take a risk, stay home.  Stop whining about your situation while high risk, elderly folks making minimum wage go to work every day and interact with the public just to feed their family.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
