As I said reports are that Chase opted out because he could sign with an agent; not COVID concerns. 

As I've also said: It's a question he should have to answer and if I were asking it; I'd make it hard to answer. The exact same standard I'd place on any player that opted out. 

You and others can spin it as some moral higher decision of protecting their families, but then you degrade every player that went out there on Saturdays. 

I will to try and not get snarky, I respect you too much for that. I never said I would not ask those who opted out the question, Chase, Sewell and many others opted out. As I watched Smith today, the decision may have cost Chase some money and draft position as Smith played and played like a stud, while no one has seen Chase play for a year.

I own a business that has not shut down, but I will not put anyone's job  in jeopardy for not wanting to take the risk due to the virus. Most need to work so even though they may have some fear, they need to support their family. My employees are all stars to me, but not NFL of high level college players. But, in the end, I am not sure it matters if you are rich or poor, everyone has to make decisions that are best for them.
