I'll be more than happy to just as soon as you cite an example of me making that claim.
let me get a snickers.
like I have said -- pointless.
(although, in this particular case I'm sure there are a few examples of players violating contracts, but that's beside the point)
That's the point. Players honor their contracts to exactly the same extent that teams do. Sometimes teams cut players, and sometimes players hold out; both are valid tactics, the ramifications of which are spelled out ahead of time in the contracts and the CBA.
Look at Logan Mankins. He chose not to report last year, and as a result he ended up with a lower tender, he was fined for all of the time that he missed, and he eventually reported when he did because he was required to do so in order to accrue a year towards free agency. He was honoring his contract to exactly the same extent that the Patriots honored Ty Warren and TBC's last month.
