Devin McCourty indicates key opt-out players will be back for 2021 season

As the New England Patriots prepare for the 2021 off-season, one of their veteran leaders gave an update on where the 2020 opt-outs stand.

As you recall, the Patriots had eight total players opting out last season due to concern for the coronavirus. Within that list were some key names. Dont’a Hightower, Patrick Chung, Marcus Cannon, and Brandon Bolden were just some of the players who opted out.

McCourty appeared on an episode of the “Patriots Talk” podcast with Tom E. Curran. On the podcast, he discussed some of the names that opted out of last season, and assured Curran that they were all ready to go.
