Plenty of prominent NFL players have already taken the decision to opt-out in 2020 due to concerns relating to the current climate. This is a trend that could increase in the coming days and weeks.

This would be yet another blow for new head coach Matt Rhule during an unprecedented start to his time with the Carolina Panthers. He is meeting a large majority of his roster for the first time this week at training camp.
