Can he at least get his annual injury before he starts the hold out?

If he's still under contract: trade him.  He's talented and special... but we've had talented and special RBs before.  Mattis is pretty good in his own right... and we can get other, not-quite-as-good RBs in the draft and FA scrap heap.  He's not worth it.

Didnt the new CBA have language that stopped holdouts or made them much less intriguing to the players?

I thought so Jimmy.  Interested to see how this ends.

Only when they are under contract and I believe also not on a rookie deal which Cook is.  But I'm struggling to verify this.  It's what I heard at the time they agreed on it

I saw this scroll by on the ESPN ticker on the breakroom TV and my first thought was

My second thought?

With what money? we are 35 cents under the cap

I think a new deal gets worked out by the start of training camp.

Depends what "reasonable" is.  I'm feeling good at keeping him at $8.5M.  Anything above $10M I'm repulsed about.
