JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Veteran DL Al Woods has informed the Jaguars that he is opting out for the 2020 season.
Woods: “While I was excited to join the Jaguars, I have made the tough decision, given the current status of COVID-19, to opt out for the 2020 season. The health and safety of my family has always been the most important thing in my life. I love the game of football and will be rooting hard for my teammates this season, and I look forward to re-joining the Jaguars in 2021.”
Head Coach Doug Marrone: “As I mentioned to our media yesterday, we all understand the risk associated with COVID-19, and we will fully support any of our players and coaches that choose to opt out this season. It is important for every individual to feel comfortable and to believe that they’re doing what’s right for themselves and their family. As an organization, we respect Al’s decision and are fully understanding.”
The deadline for players to opt out of the 2020 season is still being finalized by the NFL and NFLPA.
