I checked spotrac...looks like 12 can opt out of his contract at end of season.

Spotrac seems to have that for every veteran who's not in a contract year. So unless Rodgers, Crosby, Nelson, Cobb, Bennett, Kendricks, Matthews, Perry, many more... all have an options after the 2017, then I think it's a poorly worded item for spotrac and not really an option.
Also do NFL teams use players options, where players can opt out?
I know they sometimes use team options, where teams can opt out if they choose so.
