Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei is the first Buffalo Bills player to opt-out of the upcoming NFL season, according to Mike Garafolo.

The NFL reporter tweeted about the development on Tuesday.

#Bills veteran DT Star Lotulelei will be taking a voluntary opt-out for this season, source says. The former first-rounder has $4.5 million fully guaranteed this season as well as $2.5 million fully guaranteed the following year. So those will push into 2021 and ‘22.

Lotulelei was due to make a guaranteed $4.5 million this year. That money will now be pushed into next season.

Lotulelei was drafted in the first round by the Carolina Panthers in 2013 and signed with the Bills in 2018. He played in every game for the Bills in the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
