Well, as far as I can tell that'd be the case. But it's hard to track down some of the rules in these sort of things, so I might be wrong.

From a gaming perspective it'd be good though. As a GM you'd have to decide whether you want to keep a 40-man roster spot filled by a player holding out or instead release him and bring in a replacement. How good is the player? Are the demands unreasonable? How long are you prepared to wait before having to make a roster decision? Etcetera and so forth. All interesting conundrums for a GM it seems to me...
