NFL team doctors believe it’s safe to begin training camp, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith told reporters during a conference call Friday. The doctors have “a couple reservations,” according to Tom Pelissero, but gave the go-ahead for camp. If players don’t feel comfortable reporting to camp and/or playing this season, they can reportedly opt out and receive $150,000 (minus any amounts received by the player in 2020).
“The deadline for making an all-or-nothing decision arrives on August 1, at 5:00 p.m. ET,” according to ProFootballTalk, which obtained a copy of the NFL’s proposal to the NFLPA.
