If he gets the tag then he either plays or holds out and doesn’t get paid. Right or wrong MB will let him sit until he reports or until he gets a good trade offer (see Carson Palmer). I know Carson was under contract but we know that the old man won’t panic and give in…
The franchise tag rules were negotiated and agreed to by the players.
If a player holds out instead of playing under the tag he is hurting himself.
