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.
SI explanation

CJ Mosley Becomes Fourth Former Alabama Player to Opt Out of NFL Season
quote:
Former University of Alabama and current New York Jets linebacker CJ Mosley has opted out of the upcoming NFL season due family health concerns per ESPN's Rich Cimini.
He is the fourth former Crimson Tide standout to elect to not play in 2020 due to COVID-19 concerns, joining New England linebacker Dont'a Hightower, Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Andre Smith, and Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chance Warmack.
quote:
All four players are considered not high-risk, so each will receive a $150,000 payout for this season and the rest of their respective 2020 salary will be deferred to the 2021 campaign.
Mosley was set to receive $6 million this year.
