Earl Thomas subject to holdout fines now exceeding $700,000. Will Seahawks collect them?

The fines Earl Thomas has racked up for holding out of training camp will pass three-quarters of a million bucks this weekend.

Does that mean the Seahawks are going to collect?

Per the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement teams can fine players $40,000 per day for missing training camp. They can then add onto that after five days, by fining a holding-out player 15 percent of his prorated amount of his signing bonus for that year. Each day after that, the prorated-bonus fine fine can increase by one percent.

When Thomas missed Friday’s practice he extended his holdout through an eighth day of training camp.
