Washington DE Caleb Brantley officially opted out of the 2020 season on Monday.
The transactions report shows he’s a higher risk candidate, which means he’ll be paid a $350,000 stipend for the 2020 season.
Brantley, 26, is a former sixth-round pick of the Browns back in 2017. He was in the second year of his four-year, $2.57 million contract and set to make a base salary of $555,000 for the 2018 season when the Browns cut him coming out of the preseason.
Washington later signed Brantley to a contract and he re-upped with the team this past March.
For his career, Brantley has appeared in 20 games for the Browns and Redskins and recorded 19 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.
