Damn. Michael Pierce, our starting nose has opted out. 

that shifts my entire outlook on this season.  he was going to be a major piece of our D getting back to dominance.

He apparently has asthma. Flew in to Minneapolis to tell Z and Spielman himself.

Plus he is a bit on the overweight side.

Question, is it mostly big money players?  The ones with large signing bonuses?
What about the players that are making league minimum?

I heard that opting out gets the players 350k for not playing.  If that's true I wonder how many guys that would likely get cut would opt for that payday or if its not the same amount for everybody.

EDIT:  Apparently if the opt out is for health reasons its 350K,  if they just choose to sit out without a preexisting high risk condition its only 100 or 150k.

Players are never the same after sitting out a year I would cut his ass next year 

Cut his ass for putting his health above your entertainment?

a few weeks ago it was reported that Bill was ok with taking a knee... everyone assumed it was in reference to the protests... hell no,  he was referring to his plan for this coming season.
