Technically not an employee yet despite the team having exclusivity rights to that player's services this year.
Until the contract (tag) is signed, not under contract and thus doesn't make sense to report to camp.
Yes true, which is why I mentioned him needing to be rdy at the start of the season. He has no financial reason to show up for training camp
