Depends how he goes about not playing.

If he fakes a bullshit injury resulting in the medical staff not clearing him to play, then he'd get paid this year and next year would be his last under contract with the Skins.

If he's healthy and just refuses to play that would be violation of the contract terms somehow and the team would have legal recourse. I'm not sure what happens then - that would be uncharted territory.

If he's truly not going to play, I would assume it would take the form of pulling a Jalen Ramsey with "back spasms" or some bullshit.
