Marshawn Lynch began his holdout on Friday in the hopes of getting a new contract from the Seattle Seahawks, but ESPN analyst John Clayton believes that the running back will report to camp on Tuesday.

Lynch and the Seahawks remain mum about their plans, but Clayton pointed out that the veteran running back has no other choice than ending his lockout on Tuesday.

Clayton pointed out that the current CBA has been discouraging players from holding out because they could lose a significant amount of salary depending on the length of the holdout.

"The penalties for staying away from camp that are part of the CBA discourage holdouts," Clayton wrote. "Look at Lynch. He's losing $30,000 a day in fines. If his holdout goes to the sixth day, the Seahawks could ask him to repay $900,000 of his $6 million signing bonus (15 percent). Each additional day could cost Lynch another 1 percent of the signing bonus up to a maximum total of 25 percent."

Clayton also added that the Lynch could lose a year heading into free agency if the lockout last until Aug. 5 and would also surrender around $312,500 for every preseason game that he will miss.

Lynch, who still has two years left in the four-year, $30 million contract he signed in 2012, has been lobbying for a revised contract from the Seahawks after his teammates got lucrative deals this offseason.

Richard Sherman inked a lucrative five-year deal worth $57.4 million in April, which happened a week after Earl Thomas got a five-year, $44.7 million contract. Percy Harvin also secured his future in Seattle last offseason after signing a six-year, $67 million deal.

But while Lynch has been sending a strong message to Seattle, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said on Friday that they expect Lynch to honor his contract, sounding like they are not willing to give into the eight-year veteran's demands.

"It's a contract for a reason. We made a decision and it was signed, by us and by them," Carroll said via USA Today. "We expect them to honor their contract just as we will. We're going to honor it and we expect them to do the same."
