Geronimo Allison was the most prominent addition to the Lions wide receiving corps this offseason. However, Allison has elected to opt-out from playing in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allison joins DT John Atkins on the opt-out list for Detroit. The veteran wideout will not play in 2020 and will receive a $150,000 advance on his contract as a result. Allison signed a 1-year, $1.05 million contract this offseason to join the Lions after spending his first four seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
The big wideout from Illinois was expected to take over the No. 4 WR role behind Marvin Jones, Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola. He caught 34 passes for 287 yards and two TDs in 2019.
