Earlier today Tennessee Titans fans saw Anthony McKinney opt-out of the 2020 NFL season, but he might not be the last player to do that.
We know that there are two ways a player can opt-out of the 2020 NFL season. The first is by opting out as a precautionary measure despite not being “high-risk” which leads in a $150,000 deal from the NFL.
The other option is for high-risk players to back out and receive $300,000 for 2020.
Neither of these are gifts from the NFL, but loans that they will be expected to pay back down the line.
