Something about a Carrabasvirus, or something like that, I heard was going around and people started acting funny.

Financially he’s assured of a paycheck by opting out.

So, are you saying his odds of making the team and not being a cut victim were slim?

From Fox Business:
Players who are considered “high-risk” cases for COVID-19 are eligible for the $350,000 stipend. To receive the higher stipend, players had to demonstrate a diagnosed medical history with a high-risk factor, such as cancer or diabetes, as defined by a list compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Those players also receive full benefits and an accrued season toward free agency.
Players considered voluntary opt-outs will receive a $150,000 stipend, but will not earn a season credit. The $150,000 is essentially an advance on future salary.
So I’m saying he is thinking
he could end up on practice squad Or not make team. Possible but not probable he is in a high risk category.
