The reality is, “the close contact rules” are very very strict, and holding too many unvaccinated players who can potentially be out for 2 weeks (like Josh Allen) while testing negative is just too much risk to carry on the roster. It’s just the reality. Wild times!

I don't even understand what they're investigating. The team can cut a player without cause. If they chose to use vaccination status as part of their decision process for cutting the roster I don't think there's anything in the cba that says they can't.

They can investigate it all they want, but nothing is going to come from it. Should he have said "it went into consideration" no he shouldn't have, but all 32 teams are taking it into consideration and the NFL and NFLPA knows it. Meyer just made the mistake of saying it out loud.

Regardless of their useless investigation, there's no way they can prove anything. The roster had to be cut down to 53 regardless, as the rules state. It's not like he just randomly cut a bunch of guys mid season, then there might have been something to look into.
