Or we could call it a "hold in" but it's the exact same results, a guy not actually participating with the intent of playing.
Or he could be "injured" and stay on the rehab field the entire time.

Plus he can skip all voluntary stuff, as it's voluntary and he has no workout bonuses to lose.

It's not just fines. If the team declares you healthy and you skip 4 games you don't accrue a season meaning the player is not a free agent the next year.

We seen exactly how a Hold out/Hold In works with Roquan Smith in Chicago. Yes he didnt participate in OTAs or Training Camp but he practices the two weeks before the season and is playing.
