If they refuse to report, the can be suspended, and not get paid, or agree to a mutual termination and at least have the chance to go somewhere else and continue their career.

I know Mark Streit did that recently, but it's very rare. It might happen from time-to-time with guys who sign small deals ala Streit. Rarely do veterans do it though, as they often have overpaid deals and aren't giving up that money.
