Buffalo Bills cornerback E.J. Gaines has opted out of the 2020 season due to concerns around the coronavirus, according to general manager Brandon Beane. Beane was doing a Q&A with reports Sunday morning when he broke the news.
Gaines joins DT Star Lotulelei as the only Bills to opt out of the 2020 season. The players still have a few more days to opt out, according to the new deal between the NFL and NFLPA. Players can potentially opt out all the way until August 8th.
Gaines is a former starting CB for the Bills but his propensity to get injured was one reason he spent last year with the Browns (on injured reserve, again).
