One of the LA Chargers' incoming rookies has reportedly decided on whether or not he'll be attending this week's training camp before signing his contract with the team.

According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport : "The deadline for Chargers rookies to report is upon us and second round WR Tre Harris is officially a holdout."

Adding, "With 30 of the 32 second-round picks unsigned because of a disagreement over guaranteed money, Harris makes the first official stand."

Jim Harbaugh and the Bolts took Harris with the 55th overall pick in this year's draft after a standout career at Louisiana Tech and Ole Miss.

According to the wideout's representation negotiations will continue with the Chargers but they maintain that he will not report to camp until a deal is locked down.

As Rapoport noted, Harris is far from the only second rounder in the 2025 class with a contract hangup.

Outside of former Iowa State wide receiver Jayden Higgins and ex-UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger — who both signed fully guaranteed rookie contracts — none of the other second-round picks have come to an agreement with their respective teams.

It's a safe bet that other second round draftees are searching for similar compensation after seeing those first-of-their-kind deals.

Rookie holdouts have been pretty rare since the 2011 change that instituted the rookie wage scale — but obviously that hasn't been the case this year.
