I think it does, in the sense that these camps, while helpful, are not the tell tale sign of success in the upcoming season. A disgruntled player is a disgruntled player regardless of the reason. In Johnson's case, they just renegotiated 2 years ago, and now he see's Marshall get paid, and wants more. But I am fairly positive he will be on the roster and playing to his level, just as I am sure AH will be too.
These OTA/minicamps seem like they were purposely included so that players could use them to express displeasure with the FO. I know that's not the case, but if a player is unhappy or wants to make a non-binding statement, this has become the acceptable way to express it.
