As the Green Bay Packers head toward the start of real training camp activities, rosters around the NFL are starting to feel the effects of players opting out of the 2020 season. A number of big names around the league have elected to sit out, and the Packers got their first taste of that on Tuesday as wide receiver Devin Funchess opted out of the upcoming campaign.
Around the NFC North, though, the biggest names who have opted out are also among the biggest players in a literal sense. Two of the Packers’ divisional rivals have seen their nose tackles choose to opt out, and the football impact of those decisions will certainly be a net negative for their teams.
