On the one hand, in-game, cross team transmission hasn’t really seemed to be an issue at all yet in either college or the NFL. I don’t think there hasn’t been a documented or even alleged case of that yet.

On the other, it would definitely happen to us first after not being an issue because we aren’t allowed to have nice things

Defensive and offensive lines seem most susceptible. Breathing in each other's faces quite a bit.

Yeah I still think the chances are low though. They're outside which is huge and honestly for the large majority of the game they are not actually that close to each other. I think I've read that to spread the virus you need to be in close contact for like 10-15 minutes plus. Maybe the total time the linemen are up close adds up to that but I think all the time in between plays make it less likely it'll spread. (may be completely wrong on that but that's my understanding...)

Possible good news is that there might not have been a positive test. Usually those are reported in the morning by the national reporters who seemingly get the news from the NFL office. This may just be a case of contact tracing outside the facility and precaution.

I personally think praying works on everything.  

it doesn't.  i have prayed the most sincere humble prayers sitting on the toilet after eating way too much smoked habanero sauce - i prayed for immediate death.  i begged and pleaded.   i cried a little.   i wailed.  i've never wanted anything more in my life than in those moments.   your god abandoned me.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
