Not good. League about to come down on us if true

Highly doubt it. It never even came to the team facility. Players going out on their own and getting it during the bye is their problem. Much different than the team being responsible for protocols being broken at the team facility.

Exactly.  Panthers organization will not be punished at all nor should they be. Players should.

Exactly. Hopefully they just suspend some players and we have to play this websites owner at QB.

Players probably should be punished but won’t. There are no rules that prohibit them from gathering outside the facility. The NFLPA would appeal any punishment the league tries to hand out and win.

Well, this seems like a bunch of crazy talk.

The NFL can't punish the team for something players do on their own time outside the team facility.  In what world does anyone think that will fly?  The NFLPA would crush them.  Any court would crush them.  Heck, even the team itself might sue the NFL if they tried that.

Even the team doesn't really have any legal recourse against those players.  Again.  On their own time, outside team facilities.  Your employer has no say in what you do in those circumstances, and the Panthers are no different.

This isn't to say the team won't be pissed, privately.  I'm sure they will let those players know in no uncertain terms how stupid that was.  But we will likely never hear about it except as rumors.

Lol, look at y’all ready to crucify these guys for being close to each other during a “pandemic” , but every thing is fine when they’re tackling and sweating on each other during a football game, as long as it’s for your entertainment. Hypocrites. 

All of this

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
