They can fine him or ignore his absence. Generally teams don't fine you because they don't want to hurt the relationship. By camp though, he will be put on a list so they can replace his spot and he has to make a decision. He has to respond at some point to the team.

I'm just purely speculating and guessing but I would think that Telvin has been in contact (at least through his agent) with the front office of the team.  I say that because I assume that this also hurts his agent's paycheck.  I could be wrong about that, but it's just my thinking regarding this.

The bottom line is that whatever issue that he has is certainly a private one and should be left alone.  Team members that have said that they talked to him "understand and support him" so in my opinion it should just be left alone and doesn't need to be public.
Yes the agent gets paid based on the contract amount, not sure if there are different terms or not if it is suspended for 1 year. At minimum they would lose 3% of his yearly amount. If he retires, I'm not sure if he can get money back from the agent if the Jags want his signing bonus back.

I doubt anything has been communicated officially yet. He has to play this carefully and per the CBA to avoid being fined and losing his signing bonus. The Jags also need to cap room back, so they have to make a decision.
