If he misses 7 games, for example, then his cap number for this season would drop to $20M so his tag number should be $24M, 120% of his 2023 number. That should be enough to end the holdout, because it could, in theory, cost him more than just game checks this year.

Great point, does anyone know if it works this way? Makes perfect sense that it would.
