Branden Albert skips beginning of offseason programs, holding out for new deal

With the draft less than 2 weeks away, some attention has shifted to the players finally reporting to facilities for the start of offseason training programs. The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of the many teams with players showing up on Monday, with almost all their players showing up to Everbank Field.

Almost.

While the first inclination here is to laugh at the Jaguars for seeing a player they just traded for not show up to his first voluntary team activity, it really isn’t too big of a deal. Again, these are voluntary activities and it’s not uncommon for veteran players to forego attending these, especially early on.
