July 29, 20205 yr comment_181057 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.

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. Report
August 1, 20205 yr comment_181071 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. Report
