The deadline for NFL players to opt out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic was 4:00 pm Eastern today.

Going forward unless the rules change, there are only two circumstances that would allow players to opt out.

The Jets had three players choose to opt out before the deadline, CJ Mosley, Leo Koloamatangi, and Josh Doctson. Mosley is a starting linebacker, while Koloamatangi is a reserve offensive lineman who spent time on both the practice squad and the active roster last year. Doctson was going to compete for a roster spot at wide receiver. He opted out shortly before the deadline on Thursday.

Here is the list of players across the league who opted out.

The following are players of Jets opponents who opted out of the season according to SB Nation’s DK Nation site.
