Patriots' Devin McCourty Says NFL Changing Opt-out Date Is 'BS,' 'Absolute Joke'

New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty is not a fan of the NFL changing the opt-out deadline for players to decide they do not want to take the field in 2020 during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As NBC Sports Boston shared, McCourty said, "I think it's an absolute joke that the NFL is changing the opt-out period, mainly because they don't want to see guys continue to opt out."
