Lucas Niang opts out...

Sucks. I’m sure he was healthy enough to play early, but at least it gives him a redshirt year and we have him under contract another year

Although in a redshirt year you can practice with the team and improve as a player.

Or more likely the Chiefs will be fine without him this year, likely add additional offensive line depth next offseason (through free agency and/or the draft), and Niang basically destroyed his career before it started.

Good luck with that.

For most of the players, getting caught up in the panic by opting out now may seem like the right thing to do, but reality will hit in terms of the impact on their career (especially for a rookie like Niang) as they realize they are essentially locking themselves out of the NFL until April 2021.

You are the dumbshit who continues to breathlessly panic over every opt-out.

2% of NFL players, including no star players have opted out.

If you can't handle that... do yourself a favor and opt-out of the season as a fan.

You won't be missed.

Your dumbass thinks a rookie developmental OL who had a serious hip surgery last Fall and was going to be redshirted this year anyway is potentially destroying his career by not opting out.

It’s going to be hilarious when all these guys come back next year and are in the league making your “they are destroying their career” schtick even more laughable than it is now.

"Redshirting" and not opting out means he still would have been part of the Chiefs organization this year, rehabbing his hip, going through practices, etc.

"Redshirting" and opting out means he will be completely cut off from the Chiefs/NFL until at least April 2021... he won't be allowed at the team facility, won't be allowed to be part of any team conditioning/rehab program, etc.

Apparently you are too dense to see that difference.

He’s been rehabbing his hip since November. You don’t think he has rehab info to do on his own from professionals?

Do you also think the Chiefs would just send him home without talking to him about it or confirming he has a plan for rehab? You really think they are that stupid?

You can do PT virtually now and I find it incredibly stupid to think that he will just sit on his ass and do nothing for the rest of the year.

If anything this is one player that opting out won’t affect. He needs time to let his hip heal.
