Now this is going to be a major blow.
 Seriously, Wick's decision was a no-brainer. He wasn't going to make the roster anyway and now he's guaranteed $350K. Sweet deal.Source: Cole Wick to skip Saints season, is first known player on team to opt out BY AMIE JUST | STAFF WRITER PUBLISHED JUL 28, 2020 AT 10:38 AM | UPDATED JUL 28, 2020 AT 1:31 PM New Orleans Saints tight end Cole Wick has opted out of the upcoming 2020 season because of his asthma, a source confirmed to The Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate on Tuesday. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero was the first to report the news, while Yahoo Sports' Eric Edholm was the first to report the reason behind Wick's opt out. Wick is the first known Saints player to opt out of the 2020 season out of coronavirus concerns. Players have until Aug. 3 to opt out if they so choose. Players who elect to sit out the 2020 season cannot opt back in at any point. Because Wick is opting out because of a medical condition, he can earn $350,000 and an accrued season for 2020. Players who willingly opt out without a medical condition can earn a $150,000 salary advance, but will not accrue an earned season. The Saints signed Wick to the practice squad during Week 17 on Dec. 27 after they waived tight end Jerell Adams. Wick has been in the NFL since 2016 after finishing his collegiate career at FCS Incarnate Word. The fifth-year tight end played for the Detroit Lions as a rookie, suiting up in six games and catching two passes for 18 yards. He played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2017-18, playing in five games during the 2018 season. Since then, he's been a member of the Tennessee Titans (2018) and the Oakland Raiders (2019).

Cole: Hey, Jason, dude! Cole here. Just found out if you can come up with a medical excuse you can opt out, get credit for the season and, f***ing get this, dude ... $350K! Jason: Are you sh!tting me? You mean we don't even have to go to camp? Cole: Yeah, dude! Free, frickin' money! Hell, you know we weren't making the team anyway, right? Jason: Gotta go, man. Need to call Mr. Loomis right away. I think I got asthma. Cole: No, I have that. Jason: Okay, cool. I'll come up with something. Too frickin' cool!! |
