Day to Day
The NFL and NFLPA came to a number of agreements that were announced Friday night.
One of those agreements is that players may opt out of the 2020 season due to exposure to the Coviud-19 Virus. Some players are known to have compromising medical issues and others do not want the exposure. "High Risk" players will receive a $350,000 league stipend and "Low Risk" players will receive $150,000. Not sure what the difference is, but I'm sure we will learn that big names are high risk and unknowns are low risk.
None the less the first player to officially opt out of the season is Kansas City Chiefs starting guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif will sit out the season, he announced Friday night on Twitter. Players could opt out of this coming season as part of a deal the players union negotiated and finalized with the league.
