Davante Adams vowed to sit out the season and was traded to the Raiders.

Dez Bryant said that he would sit out the season, however, he was able to reach a long term deal with Dallas before the start of the season.

Le'veon Bell vowed to sit out and the Steelers didn't budge, so Bell sat out the whole season. The Steelers then chose to allow Bell to become

a Free Agent before the next season and he went to the Jets.

Yep, but those are the minority when it comes to people getting the tag.
A vast majority of tagged players just play on the tag and then decide to either sign a long-term deal or move on if able.
We saw that with Bates last year.
