Hightower opts out
A message from #Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower, one of the highest profile players opting out amid the Coronavirus: “Me and my fiancée are just more concerned with the health of our family than football — especially the new addition to our family.”

Hightower has a 2-week-old son.
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams

Late Tuesday night, news broke from the Boston Herald that offensive tackle Marcus Cannon had opted out of the season. Cannon had started all 50 games he played at right tackle over the past four seasons, including 15 starts last season. Then the Patriots lost linebacker Dont’a Hightower, ESPN said. Hightower, whose baby was born July 16, opted out. The 30-year-old made his second Pro Bowl last season. His versatility is a key to the Patriots’ defense. Safety Patrick Chung joined them late Tuesday morning. Chung opted out, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Chung has started 112 games for the Patriots through his career. New England also had running back Brandon Bolden, fullback Danny Vitale and offensive lineman Najee Toran opt out.
Our new DT Pierce just opted out too. The big free agent acquisition.
Bummer.

Pierce has asthma so I guess that is why he is opting out.
