If he reports week 10, he would get like 40% of his contract this year but he probably gets to stay alive so he can get paid in FA.
Only he knows his body, maybe he figures there is a good chance he gets hurt this year and then his FA stock is significantly compromised.
Still would bet on him being in the fold sooner than later, but saving a few games of wear and tear probably isn't the worst move for a RB coming off the workload he's had.

If they started bad, it would make him look good in terms of perception. Similar to what happened with Emmitt Smith when he heldout and Dallas started 0-2, then paid him and went on to win the SB.
But I'm not really sure if it would actually make him anymore money. Don't think Pitt is paying him either way.

800k a week is a lot of money so I dunno how long he holds out. But holding out generally doesn't bode well for in-season success. Tough to just comeback and "turn it on"
Fans always blame the players and never the teams in this situation, but this is the 2nd time they tagged him, he's just using what leverage he has within the rules. Just like they are. Didn't want him not to report? Then deal him 5 months ago.

Something sorta related.
I think Ingram got dinged too much adp wise with his 4 games .
If you could pick the 4 least important weeks for a running back and depth it would be the first 4 games .
His suspension is before the bye weeks start

His backup you can handcuff in like the 6th rd probably later. 2nd rd he will be my pick and I will stash him. He is going to play this season. He just is doing it on his terms because he knows this is his last year in Pittsburgh. I don’t want the drama on my team either but once it gets past the 10th pick he is incredible value. He is the second best overall player this year I agree right behind Gurley. If he wants to make it a 12 game season I will still be happy with that.
