Which NFL players opt-out of 2021 season?

The fact that no one has taken the opt-out speaks highlthe NFLPA'se NFL and NFLPA's policies and actions they have taken to contain COVID-19 outbreaks (except you Baltimore). With all 32 teams having full capacity crowds again, the NFL is looking to have sold out crowds in 2021. Let's get back to football. Edited by Arnav Kholkar
