adam Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Here is the current list of players (26 so far) opting out of the 2020 NFL Season due to COVID. Goldman is currently the only Bear, and is the 4th highest rated player in the league to opt-out so far (according to PFF grades). I assume this list will triple by the time the deadline hits sometime next week. For the Bears, my guess is Leno and Miller will follow suit as both have recently had children. Miller has at least been shown working out with Trubisky, so he has a chance, but Leno seems like the type of guy that would take this option and run with it. I have no issues with players opting out, I just didn't like the timing on some of these guys. NFC NORTH (7) Bears (2) DT Eddie Goldman S Jordan Lucas Lions (2) DL John Atkins WR Geronimo Allison Packers (1) WR Devin Funchess Vikings (1) DL Michael Pierce ------------------------------- NFC EAST (8) Cowboys (3) WR Stephen Guidry CB Maurice Canady FB Jamize Olawale Eagles (1) WR Marquise Goodwin Washington Team (2) DL Caleb Brantley LB Josh Harvey-Clemons Giants (2) OT Nate Solder WR Da'Mari Scott ------------------------------- NFC SOUTH (4) Buccaneers None Falcons None Panthers (2) LB Jordan Mack LB Christian Miller Saints (2) TE Cole Wick TE Jason Vander Laan ------------------------------- NFC WEST (3) Cardinals (1) OT Marcus Gilbert Rams None Seahawks (1) OG Chance Warmack 49ers (1) Travis Benjamin ------------------------------- AFC NORTH (7) Bengals (1) DL Josh Tupou Browns (4) OT Drake Dorbeck OG Drew Forbes DT Andrew Billings OG Colby Gossett Ravens (2) OT Andre Smith WR De'Anthony Thomas Steelers None ------------------------------- AFC EAST (13) Patriots (8) S Patrick Chung LB Dont'a Hightower OT Marcus Cannon RB Brandon Bolden FB Danny Vitale OL Najee Toran WR Marqise Lee TE Matt LaCosse Bills (2) DL Star Lotulelei CB E.J.

It is odd, but the team might have put out their own deadline for submissions. Like you must opt out before training camp starts. If they add more guys, then yes, really odd.

Stinger226 Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Jenkins out for a few weeks with a positive test. I think we are okay, he's a veteran, but here before. He will have no problem being able to fit back in. I think between Nichols, RRH, Jenkins and Brent Urban, we wont have much of a drop off. I read where Goldman has asthma so I can understand why he is cautious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
