The Los Angeles Chargers join the Detroit Lions as the first two NFL teams to begin training camp, as they will square off in the Hall of Fame game a week before the rest of the NFL plays a preseason game.
Today was the official day for rookies to report, and one member of the Los Angeles Chargers’ 2025 draft class was not present.
It appears the 2nd round pick, wide receiver Tre Harris, is officially holding out as he has yet to sign his contract, and thus, did not report to camp.
Chargers second-round WR Tre Harris hasn’t reported to camp as he remains unsigned. While rookie contracts are usually a formality, guaranteed money disputes have slowed deals around the league.

Los Angeles Chargers Rookie WR Tre Harris Officially Holding Out
According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Harris is one of 30 2nd round picks who have yet to sign their contracts, due to disagreements regarding guaranteed money.
Because the Los Angeles Chargers report to camp early, Harris is one of the first of the 2nd rounders to have to report, making his holdout the first official one.
The Lions’ second-round pick, Georgia OL Tate Ratledge, also has yet to sign his contract. However, Lions rookies do not report to camp until July 16th, so he has a few more days to get a deal done before a holdout would ensue.

The issue that stems from 30 of the 32 2nd round picks remaining unsigned is centered around guaranteed money. Typically, 2nd round contracts are not fully guaranteed; however, the two players to sign in the class, LB Carson Schwesinger and WR Jayden Higgins (the first two players taken in the 2nd round), both signed fully guaranteed contracts.
Likely, the rest of the class is looking to follow suit and is almost taking a stand in solidarity, to some extent.
For those that remember, Ladd McConkey, the Chargers’ 2nd round pick last year, signed a historic contract for a 2nd round selection. At the time, McConkey was given the most guaranteed money for a player taken 34th overall in NFL history. McConkey signed a 4-year deal worth $9,995,186. Of that amount, $9,185,943 is fully guaranteed, according to Spotrac.
I would not expect this to linger long between the Los Angeles Chargers and Tre Harris. They have big plans for the young receiver, and getting him all the reps they can will be extremely important.
