Although they don't occur with nearly the frequency they did before the last CBA was ratified in 2011, training camp holdouts are still a concern for each NFL franchise and present a significant headache if executed.
As of right now, there are six players who loom as potential training camp holdouts and for a variety of reasons.
One was a first-round pick in last month's draft, and his agents are surely hoping for offset language to be included into his rookie pact. Two are well-known veterans who are looking for a bump in pay. Another two have outperformed their current deals and are seeking large raises. And the last player makes a ton of cash but is dissatisfied with the direction of his team.
Every franchise hopes to avoid a holdout situation, but in the case of the teams here, they could be staring down the barrel of one come the end of July.
Here is a breakdown of the biggest potential holdout headaches heading into training camps.
