NFL seeks to plug hold-in loophole in next CBA

The NFL is looking to address the 'hold-in' loophole in its next CBA, where players cite injuries to leverage contract demands while remaining on the roster. This strategy was used by former Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who sat out the season opener before being traded to the Cowboys.

Porter Jr. utilized this tactic by citing a back injury to sit out training camp and the first three games. The team eventually traded him. The NFL views this as a power imbalance management must correct in upcoming negotiations. sport-tr.bet
