Seaton qualifies for the 'high risk' stipend of $350,000. 

Once again, I've said this almost after every post of a player choosing to opt out -- if you're criticizing a player for making a choice that puts either theirs or their family's health first, you can kindly go f*ck off. 

The deadline to opt out of the 2020 NFL season is today (Thursday August 6) at 4pm EST. The clock is ticking.
