Starting to think NFL season not feasible

There is no baseball or restart of the NBA since Covid 19. NFL is a major operation & need to be very careful here. IMO I don't see a full season of football being played for 2020.

The best thing the league has on their side right now is time.

Exactly. They have time. MLB would have restarted sooner if it wasn't for their disagreements on how the players were to be paid and how many games were to be played. "Spring training" is to begin July 1st with the "regular" season starting July 26th, I believe. The NBA is targeting July 30th as their start date.

Saw on tv this morning that the 16 of the 302 NBA players tested for the coronavirus ahead of the league's return to play have tested positive.

Damn.

I really don't see it happening. I am generally optimistic but at this point I don't even feel confident about basketball. Hope I am wrong.

Eight billion dollars in guaranteed revenue will assure that the season takes place. They discussed this yesterday on NFL Radio. The concern is not for the players, but for some coaches, personnel and mostly the fans. That $8 billion guaranteed comes with zero fans in the stands for the entire season. That would totally negate the concern for fans. The rest can be controlled via protocols. There is FAR too much revenue to be lost for the games to not take place. Somewhat the same with the NBA and MLB, but to a much lessor extent.

August. I am hoping and waiting for best outcome. A lot can change in a month.

I think we as a society have made the choice to roll with it regardless of the outcome.

I believe it's time for robot football! Bring on the bots baby!

Kind of like the NFL version of Madden football.

Don’t see it happening. If there is a season it probably won’t be a full 16 game season. I could see them doing a divisional game only type of thing but I also think you will see a lot of players opt out. Both Jenkins have said they don’t feel comfortable playing as it stands right now.
That being said I don’t think Malcolm Jenkins really wants to play football anymore period.
