OTAs - Players opting not to participate

[Pape]

Ian posted an article about the OTAs, and who was not present... Yes, it is voluntary, but at least two of the no shows left me with a "eh, wtf bro" type feeling...

first. the article, if you have not read it...

Patriots OTAs: Vrabel Confirms Multiple Key Players Missing Wednesday | PatsFans.com

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel confirms multiple key players, including Christian Gonzalez and Harold Landry, are missing voluntary OTAs.

www.patsfans.com

The list of no shows:
Carlton Davis, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Christian Gonzalez, Gabe Jacas, Kyle Dixon, and Harold Landry

Jacas, more like Jackass... and Kyle Dixon... Two rookies opt out of camp... one of them an udfa wr... is Dixon hurt? recovering from an off season injury/surgery? did he get pelted upside the head with a rather large rock?

I commented on Jacas previously. Rookies need all the lead time they can get. Dixon even worse, as a UDFA.

Not encouraging.

i figured it was covered in the OTA thread, but felt it was important enough to pull out of the larger thread...

just really wondering if there was a reason anyone knew about the rooks not showing up... kinda baffling, because as you said, they need all the reps they can get...

I have to assume that Jacas has a minor injury as he said "I'll give you everything I got" over and over after being drafted. If it's contract related, well, NFL players ...

Not worried about Jacas. All we have heard about him is that he is a workout warrior that has to physically removed from the training facility each night.

Boutte is likely about money.

Gonzo I would hope not.

Here is the guy who when was told he was getting selected by the Pats and then did the video conference call after the draft stated: "I'm Ready" multiple times...... "I'll give you everything I got" multiple times....."Send me the playbook" " I'm ready to go!"

He forgot to mention as soon as you guys give me that guaranteed money.

Red flag #1

He was cleared from his hamstring injury back in March. Could it be something new? Sure....The show me the money injury.
