The only way is to literally create a “bubble”...like the NHL and NBA. The stadiums won’t have fans; make an isolated environment. House the players. Limit travel as much as is possible.

Apples to oranges. It is a valid concern to have but at the same time baseball has poor leadership all around where the players and owners were arguing more about money and amount of games than safety.
Does that mean the NFL will not have issues? Of course not. But the NFLPA and NFL owners have already done a ton more in the effort for player and coach safety than MLB. Theres also less travel.
In looking at The Angel's schedule (as an example) they are averaging a new city around every 2 days. Pretty sure most NFL teams only play once a week and 8 times those are at home. Traveling, restaurants, airports (even the private jet portion), hotel rooms, hotel elevators, busses for away teams are all some of the most HOT areas Covid wise. Most MLB teams spend multiple times more in these areas than an NFL team. NFL is also far better organized.Less travel in frequency. Sure. Mileage and crossing zones, not so much.
He'll be quarantined no doubt immediately for that.Less travel cited as helping the Dolphins and NFL as compared to MLB?
Travel would probably benefit the Dolphins and lead to fewer cases, considering the number of cases in the tri-county area.
You also have a bunch of different rules in a bunch of different states since this has become so politicized.
And then you have brilliant players doing this:
