NFL faces challenge closing the contract "hold-in" loophole
Original: NFL will surely want to plug “hold-in” loophole, but it won’t be easy
Players increasingly use "hold-ins" — attending training camp but refusing to practice — to pressure teams for new contracts while avoiding fines for missed mandatory activities. The NFL is expected to seek ways to close this loophole in future negotiations with the players' union, but doing so will require collective bargaining changes that won't come easily.
Why now: Recent high-profile hold-ins by star players have highlighted how the current CBA lets them skip practice without financial penalty.
