Terry McLaurin will most likely be in training camp if he has a smart agent. The New CBA hammers down on players holding out unless they are under a Tag. MacLaurin will be fined almost 100k for missing Mandatory Mini-Camp if he goes on to miss Training Camp its 40k a day so up to 400k for all 10 days. If he misses pre-season games its 1/18th salary fine per game... Now you can say a guy can weather those fines and its true but the big thing for the new CBA is that if a player doesn't meet contractual obligations aka missing half of training camp they can lose an accrued season meaning they team will just own his rights for another year making the holdout meaningless.
