Many Falcons players will opt out of 2021 voluntary offseason program

With the COVID-19 pandemic still impacting the NFL, many of the Atlanta Falcons players have said they’ll not participate in this year’s voluntary offseason program.

The players put out a statement via the NFLPA Friday.

The statement reads: Many of our players will decide to exercise their right to not attend the voluntary offseason program. That right is afforded to every player through our CBA. While our team is not unanimous, we respect the decisions of every player across the league and will remain professional in our approach to the game.
