When the New England Patriots took the field to hold their mandatory minicamp last month, one player was suspiciously absent. Veteran defensive tackle Lawrence Guy, who had been with the club ever since 2017, opted not to participate amid an apparent contract dispute.
Fast forward to Thursday, and Guy speaking with the media for the first time since his holdout. He did report to training camp on time earlier in the week, but did not give any insight into whether or not the situation between himself and the club had been resolved.
“I’m here. Big smile on my face,” the ever-diplomatic defender said following the Patriots’ second practice of the summer.
