“Opt-out” the latest threat to the NFL season

Every day it seems that something else pops up to create more anxiety about this year’s NFL season. As other pro sports leagues are encountering some serious bumps as they try to start or re-start, most of those are also things that could affect football, including our Dallas Cowboys. The latest to become a bit more pertinent is the concept of opting out of the season. The NFL and NFLPA are discussing just how that would work. And it looks like the option is going to be available to just about anyone.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Wednesday on NFL NOW that the league and union anticipate player opt-outs would be available but would need to be communicated by a certain date.
