Quote:His salary for the year is $1.5M. Factor in up to $30,000 per day in fines, and multiply that by (I'm guessing) 25 days of camp. That's $750,000 he would lose, half of his salary for the year. The CBA also allows teams to go after portions of a player's signing bonus (I believe up to 35%) if they hold out past a certain day, and they can be docked game pay, 1/17th of their yearly salary, for missing preseason contests.


If Mincey was making $5-7M this year, it might be a gamble worth taking, but he's not. He's a 31-year-old role player making $1.5M this season, he's got intense pressure from below in the form of DeMarcus Lawrence, Tyrone Crawford and Randy Gregory, and he has zero leverage as a result. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Jerry sit back and watch the fines mount, then cut Mincey the day he reports. The Cowboys don't need him. They have better, younger players on the roster who can do everything he can.
