[Rapoport] Trent Williams is an official holdout while Brandon Aiyuk is a hold-in. The difference? One gets fined, the other does not. 💸

The NFL needs to address the "hold in" nonsense just as much as holding out.

Refusing to actually participate without a clear injury should always be a fine.
- Problem is does the team wants to fine the player(s), who is in the building and negotiating for a contract.
  
  The team wants players to show up. There's a reason they made it impossible to revoke the original fines, so the team isn't responsible for making that decision.
  
  Not practicing is the same breach of contract not showing up is. It should also be out of the team's hands.
