I knew something like this would happen. Now, lets see if the NFL will actually do what they said they would do. Why are people blaming it on Florida though? 

Because they played in Jacksonville (the Jags were on the road against Houston) as the alternate site as they were displaced by Hurricane Ida.

I don't buy it. They were there for what 2 days?  So lets consider from Fri/Sat to Tuesday so 5 days ago?

Ya know as a doctor I would expect you to have a better grasp on how infectious diseases work 

I am not a Doctor, I am a Medic. I know exactly how Infectious Diseases work. Here is an exceprt of what I mean. If it came from Florida (which I am not sure why it would be just Florida and not Louisiana, which also has a reassurgence of COVID. They were tested too early for it to be from Florida. So either they were false positives, other players/staff had false negatives, or both. I wouldn't pin it n Florida, It more than likely came from were ever they were staying prior to the game ( Texas, Louisiana and maybe Flordia possibly). If that is were they were staying. 

"The researchers estimated that those tested with SARS-CoV-2 in the four days after infection were 67% more likely to test negative, even if they had the virus. When the average patient began displaying symptoms of the virus, the false-negative rate was 38%. The test performed best eight days after infection (on average, three days after symptom onset), but even then had a false negative rate of 20%, meaning one in five people who had the virus had a negative test result."

I think they were also in Texas or something....

So two hotspots where Covid ran rampant.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
