WTS, I can easily see law suits to demand full salary.
The player has to have a documented medical reason to get the $350,000. So someone opting out because of a family issue gets $150,000. Someone opting out because of a medical issue puts them personally at risk gets the $350,000. Now there could be an argument over whether a specific condition puts someone at risk. For example, cancer surviver Marcus Cannon has opted out. Does a cured case of cancer count as a current risk? Probably not in and of itself if the NFL got nit-picky. But if the treatment left permanent damage or side effects then it could change the equation.
All hopes turn to next year
