Albany,n.y. Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Real Sports did a feature on him. I can't find a video of the whole segment anywhere but if you're more internet sophisticated please link it.
CSBill Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Here is a role-model in every good sense of the words. The NFL should be promoting him every chance they get.

uticaclub Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Good, hope the right side of KCs oline is an issue when we play them this year. 1
RobbRiddick Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Good for him, that's great that he's putting others first by working on the front line

FireChans Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 9 hours ago, Poleshifter said: He will work as an orderly? I thought he got his MD. Is this the Canadian version of a residency that US doctors must go through? He hasn’t done any post-grad training and cannot practice medicine. So he is working as an orderly. An MD without any residency training in the US or Canada basically gives you zero qualifications in actual health care.
BillsDude Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Good for him! A bunch of hypocrites here though. If Josh Allen opts out to work on his farm, will you be ok? I will be ok with that. Will you? 1
DCbillsfan Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 I had two immediate reactions to this story. One - good for him. He wants to help people. Terrific. Two - what Oline guy is Brandon Beane trading to the Chiefs for a draft pick(s)? 1

I think having the Premier League back has been good here. It isn't as good with no fans but it is better than nothing.

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Wow not what I was expecting to see after just seeing the title. Very commendable.

I will be ok with that. Will you? depends on the opt out clause in the new agreement, which i have not seen yet. If a player opts out but is still credited with a year of service, and Josh, or any player for that matter, opts out to avoid injury in a contract year...yep gunna have an issue. Think it abundantly clear by all accounts on social media Josh has not exactly been holed up on his farm all spring

Think it abundantly clear by all accounts on social media Josh has not exactly been holed up on his farm all spring Opt out clause will allow the contract to toll. If the player is “high risk” they get 350k and a credited season and if just don’t want to play for any other reason they get 150 k and no credited season but then when they come back that is subtracted from their salary.

YoloinOhio Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 So technically John brown could opt out under the high risk clause

That seems fair to me, and if I was the NFL i would prolly mandate a high risk player sit out..with full pay and an accrued season And hate to admit i am not sure what "contract tolls" means..and googling it has not helped me understand better in this context..can you explain? Thanks 4 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: So technically John brown could opt out under the high risk clause what would cause that? Edited July 25, 2020 by plenzmd1

Thanks what would cause that? John Brown has sickle cell disease contract toll basically means that the contract pauses, 2020 salary and contract terms move to 2021, they remain on the roster and will be placed on some kind of reserve list - also they will continue to have benefits such as accruing seasons toward pension and will have same medical insurance coverage.
