Green Bay Packers' Devin Funchess and Philadelphia Eagles' Marquise Goodwin opt out of 2020 NFL season

Devin Funchess and Marquise Goodwin are among a growing list of players choosing to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to concerns over the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Over 20 players, from 17 different franchises, have so far given notice of their decision to opt out, signing the league's collective bargaining agreement, which was agreed with the players' union on July 24.

Players considered high risk can receive a $350,000 stipend that does not count against future earnings, and an accrued NFL season if they choose to opt out. Players deemed low risk can still receive up to $150,000 if they choose to opt out, but their money is an advance on their 2021 salary.
