I am a born and raised Saints fan and would love nothing more than to see Drew Brees compete for the Super Bowl this 2020 season, but working with these COVID patients the last few months, it is likely not an illness 32, 100 + personnel teams can isolate from. and despite the conditioning of NFL athletes, it is an especially unsafe illness given the increased risks to the O.line and D.lineman with their size and comorbidities.
I saw the NFLPA already voted unanimously for No preseason, and even if we get to see 3-4 weeks of football, I cannot imagine the players will continue once teammates are hospitalized.
perhaps some deus ex machina will arrive this Fall and change that, and l would love nothing more both as a physician and a fan; however, I am not hopeful for 2020.
I don’t know if our HOF quarterback would push onward for 2021, but does anyone know if existing contracts would roll over?
i.e. is the Winston signing valid for 2021 if we don’t play any games this season?
I believe with the “guaranteed” contracts common for NFL players, should the league play a few games and then cancel, all the money would be owed to the players; therefore, I doubt we will see any games this Fall, but additional insight here would be appreciated.
