NFL stars skip OTAs all the time, but in 2022, some absences are more troubling than others: FrontOffice33 | NFL
Organized team activities have started for many teams around the NFL in recent weeks. With all OTAs being optional, several players, most often veterans, choose not to go.
Rodgers’ case is the least worrisome of the three players mentioned above. The Packers gave their quarterback most of what he wanted this offseason. He inked a three-year, $150-million contract that made him the highest-paid player by average annual value. Green Bay drafted several pass-catchers this year, strengthening the roster’s weakness even before the Davante Adams trade.with Rodgers about the Adams trade, implying he won’t hold that decision against the team.
Murray is in line for a big contract extension as he prepares to enter his fourth season with Arizona. He’s been everything the Cardinals hoped he would be as their former No. 1 overall pick in 2019, so a new contract will likely happen sooner or later. But according to ESPN’s, all remains quiet, so Murray has stayed absent from Arizona’s OTAs, presumably, to express his frustration.
Their versatile, hybrid receiver/running back, Samuel is doing his best to force his way out of San FranciscoReports surfaced ahead of the draft that Samuel asked for a trade even though the 49ers appeared willing to give him a large contract extension. But money doesn’t seem to be the issue; instead, Samuel isn’t happy with how San Francisco uses him on offense.
