With 25 teams starting their offseason workout programs this week, the time is ripe for players to signal their discontent with their contracts or other matters by skipping the voluntary work.
Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is on the list of players going that way this year. Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reports that Brown will not be joining his teammates at offseason workouts as he tries to push the Steelers toward giving him a new deal.
Brown signed a six-year, $43 million deal with the Steelers in the summer of 2012, but has seen his numbers explode over the last two seasons as the focal point of the Pittsburgh passing offense.
