Obviously many of these are merely backup position players but if there is a season depth is going to be a problem.

Damian Williams was chiefs RB1, albeit he was facing stiff competition in rookie Clyde Edwards.
 
Under the amended collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and NFL Players Association, agreed to on July 24, players have the choice to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

If a player wishes to opt out, he must provide his club with written notification within seven days of the date that the NFL and NFLPA finalize the agreement that includes the terms of such opt-outs.

To be designated a voluntary opt-out, a player must be under contract or subject to a tender. The player's contract will toll and all provisions of that contract for the tolled year will be applicable the following season; however, he will not receive an accrued season. The player will be eligible for a stipend of $150,000 to be treated as a salary advance against his tolled contract; an undrafted free agent, however, is not eligible for the stipend.

To be designated a higher-risk opt-out, a player must have a diagnosis reflected in their medical records of at least one of the following factors, which are based upon a modified list of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) risk factors list: cancer; chronic kidney disease; COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); immunocompromised state from solid organ transplant; serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies; sickle cell disease; type 2 diabetes mellitus; asthma; cerebrovascular disease; cystic fibrosis; hypertension or high blood pressure; immunocompromised state from blood or bone marrow transplant, immune deficiencies, HIV, use of corticosteroids, or use of other immune weakening medicines; neurologic conditions, such as dementia; liver disease; or pulmonary fibrosis.

It is not mandatory for a "higher risk" player to opt out. A higher-risk opt-out will receive an accrued season toward free agency and all benefits and minimum salary credit for a credited season and is also eligible for a stipend of $350,000, which will not constitute a salary advance.

From this list, you have a whole lot of really good starters. Maybe not of the fantasy football variety but some really good players

That’s your bias. No one has suggested that the payment is unfair. I mean..you whines and complained for 6 months because you weren’t getting your 50 cent a mile reimbursement...so who’s the hypocrite

When did I EVER complain about that?

Post my post or STFU.

Well, no. I'm not able to do what I've done for the past 12 years with my company. Managing via Zoom sucks.

Don’t tell me Cuomo makes your list of good ones. He talked a good game, but he sent the elderly to their deaths along with the people they lived with

NY is in great shape now and I'd need to know and understand the why's of that, atrocious and horrendous as it was.

Yep. And after all the lessons learned at New York's expense... Florida and Texas are sprinting into Turn Three in a race to the bottom.

It's as if they had no advance notice.:rolleyes:

For New England, Hightower, Cannon, and Chung are all major players. OL is a big problem now with Cannon opting out, and the defense is going to be awful with DH and PC out. Going to be a long year.
 
A lot of big boy linemen in that group. I’m sure there will be more when they realize their risk.
 
Plenty of talent waiting in the wings. Guarantee you that. Nobody is irreplaceable.
