Which of these players seeking new deals or a trade won't report to camp?
Training camps are getting underway around the NFL, but several big names are still facing an uncertain future, either in search of a new contract or at the heart of trade rumors. So which players could actually hold out? And which ones are more likely to report, regardless of their financial demands?
Here, we're predicting the likely outcomes for eight notable players:
The Pro Bowl quarterback was in and out of Miami's spring program before reporting to mandatory minicamp, where he admitted to growing impatience over long-term contract talks. Declaring that "the market is the market," Tagovailoa has reportedly yet to receive an offer from the Dolphins that's comparable to recent deals signed by fellow signal-callers Jared Goff and Trevor Lawrence. He's likely torn between playing the good soldier and wanting to secure a pay raise before risking another injury, which makes a hold in a distinct possibility. Instead of risking $40,000 daily fines by skipping camp altogether, he could show up and participate in limited fashion, with unofficial approval from the coaches.
