what do the players get for compensation if they opt out? I assume it was negotiated in the last bargaining period. I would hope they get nothing in the terms of a salary but the NFL will keep the insurance premiums paid.

Believe it or not, this situation wasn't covered under the last CBA. Frankly, the owners are going to have to swallow hard and see if they want to open this can of worms. So many of the other professional leagues are making allowance for guys wanting out. It will be a bad look.

But the NFL is more a dictatorship and has the might to make it tough for guys sitting out. The NFL CBA is without a doubt the weakest union in pro sports. It will be interesting.
