Teams have to be careful about that, however.

Earlier this off season, Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane stated that he would absolutely release any player that was not vaccinated. He thought that if the majority of the team's players and staff were vaccinated, it would be a competitive advantage.

Well, the league was pretty quick to address those comments. They let Beane know that you cannot release a player because of vaccination status.

The NFL spoke with Bills GM Brandon Beane this week following his comments regarding releasing an unvaccinated player, per league source. A team may not release a player solely due to vaccination status.

The Players Association also made some comments shortly afterwards indicating that they would be watching teams to see if they make any such cuts.
