The NFL had 66 players opt-out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The NFL set a deadline of August 6th by 4 PM ET to opt out and be eligible for a stipend of $150,000 to be treated as a salary advance against his tolled contract.
A player can still opt out later if one of the following applies: if that player gets a new diagnosis that he has a high-risk condition; or if a player's family member dies, is hospitalized or otherwise moves to a medical facility because of COVID-19 or related condition.
