Not necessarily - three Colts were placed on the list Quote But according to Zak Keefer of TheAthletic.com, Kelly said last week that he was fully vaccinated. If that is indeed the case, it would mean Kelly has tested positive, because vaccinated players no longer need to be placed on COVID reserve for being a close contact. Kelly refers to Center Ryan Kelly but anyway Wentz could vaccinated but positive thus on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I was also going to say, Wentz has *ahem* declined to say if he's vaccinated or not. Which means no. For what it's worth, the NFL says 93% of players are vaccinated... (which probably means at least the first jab of PFE or MOD, or just the J&J. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Based on the issues some MLB teams have had with J&J - fans better hope their teams were using one of the other ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Well, you know, one of those J's literally owns an NFL team. So... In other news... Also, Charles Robinson said his tweet on the Dolphins being the "front runner" for Watson was simply "process of elimination" since Carolina told him they were out. He also admitted that the Texans and Miami have not spoken about Watson in months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 While I don't put a lot of stock in leaked "unnamed" sources as there are too many sources with an agenda (and reporters sometimes make things up), the idea that they'd just make Watson inactive every week and pay him is kinda batty. Unless they are really sure they will get a trade this year and don't want to risk injuring him, may as well play him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Surprising but not. Newton probably came with a lot of baggage, not the least of which is that he appears to still be unvaxed. Belichick is an extremely "Rip off the bandage now" kind of guy who didn't want to deal with it any more. Plus they did draft Mac Jones for a reason, and he's looked fine in pre-season. They're probably not making the playoffs this season, so give him the full season to get ready to play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Starting Jones over Newton isn't really surprising. But saying that you would rather have Brian Hoyer on your team than Cam is mind boggling. I am guessing this has to do with his vaccine position and him still catching COVID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cam probably still wants to start. Right now, I'd say his best chance to do that is Indy and maybe Denver. Otherwise, he's going to be done sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Sean Payton said today that the Saints are planning on being out of New Orleans for a month They are currently practicing in Dallas and the current thought is the Packers/Saints Week 1 game will be moved to Dallas (since the Cowboys open at Tampa) New Orleans is on the road Week 2 and 3. They hope to play in the Superdome in Week 4 against the Giants. The Superdome didn't sustain any structural damage but the city itself needs to have the infrastructure in place for a NFL Game to be hosted there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'd go out on a limb and assume no team wants a backup QB that isn't vaccinated. It would be bringing that risk to the QB Room for no reason, back-ups are everywhere and its too important of a position to risk even if he only missed five days for a close contact. You'd pretty much have to have three active and practicing QBs, or do what the Bills did last year and have a backup QB in their own bubble in case everyone else got COVID. Just more hassle than its worth for a backup. I would be surprised if Cam gets a lot of interest until he gets the poke, that's the risk they are all taking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick is an extremely "Rip off the bandage now" kind of guy who didn't want to deal with it any more. Belichick seemingly loves Cam. Cam also seems to be someone you can't have in your locker room if he's not in charge. He's kind of the guy who has to be the starter, or everybody is going to be looking at him and not the starter. With that said, I'm sad to see him go. I don't think he's going to be signed mostly because of what I stated above. He's kind of a unicorn as far as skillsets go, and you can't have a personality like Cam to come in and destroy the confidence of your young quarterback. I feel like Denver or Washington could have brought him in during the offseason, but at this point I don't think he'll be on a team this year.

Infinit Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 At some point a starter in the league will get injured this year...I'm sure Cam will get some looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
