With the preseason version, the NFL allows teams to say "No" to the circus for a few reasons:

1) if the team has a rookie head coach
2) if the team has been on Hard Knocks in the previous 10 years
3) if the team has been to the playoffs in the prior 2 years


Of course, the team could still decide to appear on Hard Knocks but they are not forced to appear if any of the above 3 conditions are met.
