ONN – Patriots FB Dan Vitale, Leigh Steinberg Client, Takes Voluntary Opt-Out Of 2020 NFL Season
Former Northwestern Wildcat, and 2016 NFL Draftee Dan Vitale, who this vlogger met at the Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party in 2016, in San Francisco, is taking the NFL’s contract buy-out option for the 2020 Season.
The option is for those NFL players who do not want to be subjected to the danger of playing football and possibly contracting the Coronavirus during the 2020 NFL Season. Today, both Dan Vitale and Cowboys CB Maurice Canady took voluntary opt-outs for the season.
This is the first ‘tame’ bit of news for Steinberg Sports in a while. Last month, the firm inked Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to the largest contract ever, in sports.
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
