According to John McClain, Texans left tackle Duane Brown is holding himself out of offseason activities while he pursues a new contract.
LT Duane Brown has missed first two OTAs. Wants a new deal. Has two years left.

Brown will be 32 at the start of the 2017 season - still within the “prime” of most offensive linemen - but will be nearly 34 when he becomes an unrestricted free agent after the 2018 season. He has $19.4 million left on the six-year, $53.
