Al Woods, DT, Jacksonville Jaguars
The 6-foot-4, 330-pound run-stuffing defensive tackle signed a one-year contract worth $2.5 million with the Jaguars as a free agent in March after spending the 2019 season with Seattle. The Jaguars struggled against the run in 2019 (139 yards per game allowed), especially after Marcell Dareus went down with a sports hernia. Woods was going to take Dareus' spot in the middle of the defensive line, a spot that will likely now be manned by Abry Jones and rookie Davon Hamilton, who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week. Woods has 204 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 10 seasons with Tampa, Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Indianapolis and Seattle.
Isaiah Prince, OT, Cincinnati Bengals
Prince appeared in four games with the Dolphins in 2019 before he was eventually released. The Bengals picked him toward the end of the season with hopes of having him as a depth option moving forward. He was inactive for Cincinnati's final four games of last season. Prince was slotted to be a backup tackle in 2020.
Josh Tupou, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
Tupou signed a one-year deal with the Bengals after the team made him a restricted free agent in the offseason. Tupou appeared in all 16 games last season and made seven starts. The third year-veteran's role increased in 2019 as the Bengals battled injuries and a lack of depth in the interior defensive line last season. If Tupou had played this year, he could have added depth to a unit that added D.J. Reader during free agency. Tupou was set to earn $2.1 million this season.

Dont fall for it. Belidick is making these guys opt-out so the Pats get the #1 overall pick. Brady to Lawrence.

so this whole contract tolling thing. does this mean that Mosley's 2020-2021 contract year is moved to 21-22? and therefore he is under contract for an additional year? and does this save cap money this year, which in turn rolls over next year?

nvm i found the answer and it is yes. so this saves 17,500,000 this season, which obviously becomes mosley's salary next year. he is now under contract thru 2024 and becomes cuttable in 2023
im guessing JD will not use this new cap space this year because he wants to roll it over to next year so that there is no added squeeze from mosleys salary

I look at it like this::
1. More cap money to roll forward to the lower future cap year
2. It’s not like his production is significantly lower than last year
3. We were surprisingly resilient at inside linebacker last year and Avery Williamson is back so we should be ok
4. maccagnan signed him so the contract was destined to go bad
5. We aren’t a Super Bowl team this year Anyway

this also ensures avery williamson will not be cut, so no cap savings/rollover there.

But he’ll be a year older.

Well that blows. On the bright side it's like having 3 No.1 picks next year. |

That groin injury must’ve split him from tip to scrotum

What a dope. Worse than idzik. How he ever got a job as a GM. Only the jets were dumb enough to hire that waste. |

Geronimo Allison, WR, Detroit Lions
Allison, who signed with Detroit this offseason, was expected to compete for a depth roster spot on the outside behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. With Allison out, another free-agent signee, Geremy Davis, and third-year pro Chris Lacy could have good shots at a spot. It could also open up a bigger role for rookie Quintez Cephus. Allison is the second Detroit player to opt out, joining defensive tackle John Atkins.
Jamize Olawale, FB, Dallas Cowboys
Olawale became the third Cowboy to opt out of the season, joining cornerback Maurice Canady and wide receiver Stephen Guidry. Olawale has been the Cowboys' starting fullback the past two seasons, and the team picked up his 2020 option earlier in the offseason.
Matt LaCosse, TE, New England Patriots
LaCosse raises the Patriots' total of opt-out players to eight, which is easily the most of any team in the league. He was entering his second year with the Patriots and sixth in the NFL. LaCosse played in 11 games last season in New England, totaling 13 receptions for 131 yards and one touchdown. He was projected to be on the roster again this year, complementing rookie tight ends Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene, both of whom the Patriots traded up to select in the third round of the NFL draft.
E.J. Gaines, CB, Buffalo Bills
Gaines, 28, missed all of last season due to a core muscle injury. The Bills re-signed Gaines to a one-year deal in March and were expecting the five-year veteran to provide depth in their secondary.
Lerentee McCray, DE/LB, Jacksonville Jaguars
McCray became the second Jaguars player to opt out with his announcement on Saturday. McCray, who signed a one-year contract worth $1.047 million in March, is one of the Jaguars' core special-teams players. He has 2.5 sacks in limited defensive reps with the Jaguars over the past two seasons.
C.J. Mosley, LB, New York Jets
The Jets middle linebacker hasn't commented publicly, but a source said Mosley was opting out of the season because of family health reasons. In a span of a week, the Jets have lost their top two players on defense for the season. They traded All-Pro safety Jamal Adams to the Seahawks on July 25, and now Mosley is gone. Mosley missed 14 games last season because of a groin injury that required surgery.
Marqise Lee, WR, New England Patriots
Lee said Saturday that he has decided to opt out of the 2020 season, becoming the seventh Patriots player to do so. No NFL team has had more players opt out of the season. Lee, 28, became a first-time father in February, and said protecting his newborn daughter, Alia, and family was at the core of his decision. "This is a big sit-down process I had, with me and my significant other, as far as family goes. The risk factor in which we believe that's going out there, it just wasn't worth it in a sense. Just too many unknowns," Lee told ESPN.com.
Chandler Brewer, OT, Los Angeles Rams
Rams tackle Chandler Brewer has opted out for the 2020 NFL season, according to an official team release. "With my history with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, I am at high risk and will opt out of playing in the NFL this season," Brewer said, per the Rams website. "I would like to thank the Rams for their support and I look forward to getting back on the field in 2021 and beyond."
