It happens every year, and it's always dramatic: NFL players who want a new contract or an extension either don't show up for training camp (that's known as holding out) or do show up but then don't practice (known as holding in).
Of course it's happening in 2024. There's a handful of noteworthy names who have decided to make their voices heard and are hoping for a new contract or, in at least one case, a trade out of town.
So as we get into training camp, here's a look at the who's who of holdouts and hold-ins, and we'll update this if more join the list:

There are other top WRs who have gotten big new contracts. He has not. Come on, Dallas.
QB Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

He's in Packers camp, but he's not practicing as he awaits a new contract. Hence, he's a hold-in.
WR Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers

He's in camp, but won't practice. He's in a weird situation in which he has requested a trade. Will the Niners do it? Will they pay him to keep him?
OT Trent Williams, San Francisco 49ers

He wants a new deal and hasn't reported to camp.
EDGE Haason Reddick, New York Jets

After the Jets dealt for the pass-rusher, he wanted a new contract. Now, he's holding out.
