Miari writes "Multiple NFL teams intend to fly to and from the sites of their road games on the day of the contest during the 2020 season, reports Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, citing a league source."
NFL teams are looking to protect the product during the pandemic while players are seemingly against it.
Eric Ebron tweeted that the "entire team would be on IR" while Dauris Slay said "that's not go work". Patriots James white just tweeted an emoji face.
Teams are expected to meet in late July and will certainly talk about this before the season kicks off in September. If the league does implement this, Miari wrote that some teams will have an advantage.
"The Seattle Seahawks have 28,982 miles of regular-season travel in 2020, the most in the NFL. AFC North teams will face the least travel, with the Baltimore Ravens set for a league-low 6,420 miles."
The players will have to choose between getting paid and jet lag. Just one more obstacle due to covid.
