NFL opt-out deadline set for Thursday, source says - ESPN
The deadline for NFL players to opt out of the 2020 season will be Thursday at 4 p.m. ET, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The NFL Players Association agreed to shorten the window between the finalizing of the agreement and the opt-out deadline (which was originally supposed to be seven days) in exchange for some concessions on the final language, sources said on Monday. The league’s COVID-19 protocols, officially an amendment to the new collective bargaining agreement signed in March, were agreed to by players and team owners July 24, but it took until Monday night for attorneys for the two sides to finalize the formal language of the deal.
