Agent's Take: Ramifications of player hold-ins, why Ja'Marr Chase must tread carefully as he seeks new deal
CBSN
The Bengals star WR is staging a hold-in, and stands to lose a lot of money doing so
The "hold-in" became a new tactic for players trying to get contract unhappiness addressed because of the harsh economic consequences of a holdout under the 2020 NFL collective bargaining agreement.
Teams are required to fine players who aren't on rookie contracts, such as New York Jets edge rusher Haason Reddick and San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams, $50,000 per day with training camp absences. Players on rookie contracts, like Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, are subject to a $40,000-per-day fine.
There's an additional penalty of one week's base salary (1/18th of salary) for each preseason game missed with players signing contracts as unrestricted free agents (Reddick and Williams) or for first-round picks playing under their fifth-year option (Lamb).
