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.

The NFL player's union and the league entered into a formal agreement to revise their CBA. It isn't a league only decision.
In a nutshell, the standard player gets $150,000. If they have one of several 'high risk' conditions, that number goes up to $375,000.
The season counts towards reaching free agency, but not towards salary steps. If this would be year 3 of a 4 year deal, the player would still be a free agent after 2021 - but he gets his 2020 salary in 2021.
