Does he, or Drew, really think it's a good idea to try to demand a new contract after a relatively lousy season? I know he made his first ProBowl, but that was as an alternate (hell, Romo and Vince Young "made" the ProBowl).
I'd say he as to come out and perform well this season in order to start making demands.

That is all well and good but today's league doesn't work that way. Drafting Landry wasn't exactly a "vote of confidence". He knows that he is one of the most popular players and arguably the best player on the team. He deserved more money and I don't blame him for using his leverage. He certainly won't have more leverage next year when Landry has a year in the system under his belt.

I'm not going totally against the idea that it's contract related but there is a chance that maybe "grandma is sick" or "Uncle Harvey is in the hospital" or "Dad fell down the stairs" or....or....or....or....

All of this is speculation based on no facts. Bottom line is that they are not mandatory activities and he doesn't have to be there. I believe in giving the players an actual offseason to recharge their batteries. My opinion is that this is nothing to get twisted about.

There are a lot of reasons why he might not be there.
1) Working out in Miami, every year we hear people complaining that the U guys are down there working out.
2) He wants more money, he got hosed on his rookie contract and I can't blame him. Why not lock him up now.
3) They're optional, and he decided not to show. Not a big deal, if he starts missing minicamp or comes begrudgingly then we have a problem.
4) Let the Rosenhaus bashing continue. It's not like this guy is probably the agent that has more clients than anyone else in the NFL. 99% of his deals get done without a hitch. Let's also remember that Danny and Rosenhaus like each other and do business often. London Fletcher, Santana Moss, Clinton Portis, and Sean Taylor all use Rosenhaus. Stop watching ESPN and thinking he is always like this. It's important to remember one thing, the agent works FOR the player, not the other way around.

He has barely been to OTA's since he got into the NFL. Last season they said he had perfect attendance and last year was his worst, so I don't think they help all that much. He's missing a bunch of walk throughs, when he's late to training camp I'll care. Until then, he might be upset with his contract, he might not. Until I hear some facts about it, I'm not going to freak out.

Didnt Taylor miss them 2 years ago. And everyone was like WTF mate, and its just because he was working out on his own in MIA. Just leave him alone and stop making assumptions.

Sheesh, people just want gossip during the offseason.

I really don't think this should be such a big surprise, to anyone. NO BIG DEAL!
