Report: NFL Teams Cannot Cut Players for Being Unvaccinated After Bills GM's Comments

The NFL has reportedly established that teams cannot release players based solely on whether or not they are vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the NFL made that point clear in speaking with Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane after he recently commented on that possibility.

In an interview with One Bills Live (h/t Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle) this week, Beane was asked if he would consider cutting an unvaccinated player at the back end of the roster if it helped allow the Bills to hold meetings without strict health and safety protocols.
