In just two days, the Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to report for training camp. It’s been a long road to bring the NFL and the NLFPA together on an agreement but we are finally here.
One of the options on the table for players is a stipend to be paid if a player chooses to opt-out of the season. Players have until August 3 to decide and there are two tiers. If a player opts out due to a medical condition that could make them more susceptible to COVID-19, the payment is $350,000. If the opt-out is simply voluntary, the amount drops to $150,00.
Our question is, do you expect any Steelers to opt-out before the deadline?
In terms of medical concerns, we aren’t privy to their personal lives so it is impossible to say if any Steelers have folks at home they are looking out for.
But if you are one of the UDFA who are sure to get released when the team trims to an 80-man training camp roster, this would be tempting. Cast your vote and tell us if you think any Steelers will take the money and run.
