Players opting out

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'...

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.

      AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
