Houston Texans offensive tackle Duane Brown, who skipped the team's offseason activities, is not expected to show up for the opening of training camp as he seeks a new contract, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The risk he is taking to try to make more money has already resulted in lost money.
Brown's deal with Houston included a $250,000 de-escalator clause if he did not participate in a requisite number of workouts. Brown triggered the de-escalator, and his base salary has dropped from $9.65 million to $9.4 million, a league source told ESPN's Field Yates.
