He’s racked up more than $1M in camp fines. Do those subtract from his base?

It's been asked a few times in this thread but no answers.
I'm hoping that it does in fact reduce the total cap hit that is used to calculate next years franchise tag. Thus Veach could reduce that tag number by a few million if a contract is not reached.
Veach a mastermind?
Knows he won't ever pay Jones $30M and plans to tag and trade him next offseason but only tells Jones/agent that they are working on it and a deal could still get done thus Jones keeps sitting out! At some point the agent and Jones will call Veach's bluff and Jones will report but by then his tag number will be in the $20M's not the $30M's anymore!
MUAHAHAHAHA
