Players opting out


t96

Recommended Posts

Big wave of opt outs have come in today. Haven’t seen any Panthers so far but with the deadline being this Saturday I bet we see at least 1 soon. Chiefs starting guard opted out, our old buddy Star opted out, Patriots are dropping like flies —like 5 starters for them have opted out already. Post any other news you got, or thoughts.
 

If I had to guess which Panthers could opt out I’d say Boston is a possibility as he made some comments about not playing due to health concerns or social justice stuff, etc. Maybe Samuel with his heart condition. Otherwise, any older veteran is a possibility but none really stand out.

It’s a crap shoot really. It seems players are opting out for a variety of reasons...pregnant wife, new child, at risk family members, etc. 

im sure we will have at least one player.  

Yep. Opt outs alone can honestly change the landscape of the league a ton, maybe as much as in-season COVID outbreaks for teams. Even if Cam is healthy and balls out, this Pats team ain’t winning poo this year. Assuming the season does happen.

My thought is since we mostly have guys who are trying to prove they belong as a starter or on a roster we’d have less players opt out than winning teams with bigger names. Could actually be a benefit to us.

Looks like the Pats aren’t even going to have a chance at being good.

Not going to hold it against any player for opting out, but no surprise to see Star on that list.

where do you think cam gets traded.  one of their starting ot's already opted out.  if its true they're gonna have to trade him or say he was having trouble with the playbook, not enough time to 'gel'...

    • 1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.
    • Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.
    • I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
