Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei opted out of the 2020 season, becoming the first Buffalo Bills player to exercise his option to do so.
Lotulelei signed a five-year, $50 million deal with the Bills in 2018 and has started at defensive tackle ever since, operating as one of the team's primary run-stopping defensive linemen.
He signed a restructured contract this offseason, guaranteeing him $4.5 million in 2020. His new contract will now activate in 2021.
Buffalo spent a 2019 first-round pick on defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who will anchor the position alongside 2020 free-agent signees Vernon Butler and Quinton Jefferson, as well as 2018 third-round pick Harrison Phillips, who missed most of last season with a torn ACL.
