It's not Goodell that is wielding the hammer this time. It is the Player's Association. They are the ones that came up with the off-field restrictions. And according to several players I have heard on NFL Radio there will be quite a bit of direction in the locker room from veterans. They said things like they'll be telling younger players that you can wait until after the season to go to nightclubs or beaches. You can wait six months to visit family or go out to eat at restaurants. You can wait until after the playoffs to hang out with friends.

That’s all well and good but you know someone is going to break this set of rules.

I hope so. Early on in training camp. Hopefully some young star on another team. They'll show up for practice after a day off and test positive in the morning exam. They be placed in isolation and then questioned. They'll come up with some story about a McDonald's drive-thu, but word gets out they were at a club with friends. The hammer comes down. Suspended for the season with no pay and no accrued year. Lesson learned across the league.

It sounds like they mean business. That is a good thing. Sometimes these young guys get full of themselves and think they are invincible and that's usually fine. This time around a poor decision can hurt the whole team and their families.

The players want to play badly and the vets are not going to put up with idiots threatening their paychecks. Very real policing happens within an NFL locker room. Kirk Morrison, former LB, said on NFL radio that team leaders will make a point with all players as soon as real camp begins how things are to be done. No if's, and's or but's.

Get realistic, no one would get suspended for a season for getting sick no matter how stupid the excuse. Lou Williams of the Clippers went to a strip club on his approved leave for a funeral and all he got from the NBA was a 10 day quarantine

Ragin, it is in the guidelines provided by the NFLPA to their members. If they become infected through any method but essential trips they will be suspended. They are coming down hard to control.

That's fine. You are showing the ability to reserve judgement, albeit in a reverse order from normal.
