NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said on a call today with rookie players and their agents that the union again will negotiate the right for players to opt out of the 2021 season, per source.

Dozens of players took the opt-out in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

This includes rookie minicamps, which DeMaurice Smith emphasized are voluntary. The union's recommendation is players don't show up to those either. So, some more drama over the next couple weeks. Nothing is mandatory until next month's full-squad minicamps.
