Every single other player recognized this, except our highest paid player, who just happened to collect a $20M check this spring.
To me, his absence for all things voluntary was a huge red flag.
He has officially surpassed Landry as my least favorite player.

To me, not so. Don't get me wrong I totally agree with you 100%. But I grew up watching football and the players didn't report until training camp. You would hear about 1 or 2 players who stayed with their teams (not the Skins) and worked out all year cause they felt they had to be in the best shape. Those people were looked at as being crazy.
It's a different time I know and now most players stick around the facility and train yr around but the rules are still in place from the old days. Basically the players don't have to be at volunter camp. So I see no need to start ruffling feathers when he doesn't have to be here. Now that he is supposed to be here and not, everyone can ruffle all the feathers they want.
But I too agree that everyone was here trying to get better then last yr and be a team. Thats not a way to act with a new HC and GM.
