The NFL and the NFL Players Association on July 24 reached an agreement on opt-out rules for players who don't want to participate in the 2020 season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
And only a few hours passed after the agreement was reached before the first NFL player announced he would opt out of the 2020 season.
... The NFL season opt-out rules are simple. Anybody is free to decide not to play in 2020, and per multiple reports, the contracts for all players who opt out will toll to 2021.
NFL players who opt out for 2020 also will receive salary advances. Those who opt out for medical reasons because they are at high risk regarding COVID-19 will receive $350,000 for the season, and those who opt out voluntarily will receive $150,000 for the season. (Undrafted rookies who opt out voluntarily are not eligible to earn the $150,000 stipend.)
