With the opt out rules finalized here are the current numbers for cap space gained by team in 2020, the list of opt outs thorough August 3, and the positional breakdown. All cap space created can either be used immediately for signing free agents or carried over into 2021. As of yesterday 51 players have opted out of the 2020 season. The deadline is Thursday at 4PM and I would expect many more to be added to the list once they review the final rules.
