Its really not a surprise as it is more of a cultural thing then an NFL thing. And you can read between the lines on that one. @slizz

He admitted that he made a mistake at one point(something you don't often see players do, especially receivers) and said he told his coaches about it. That's a hell of a lot better than most'll do, and besides, like someone stated previously, he's proven himself, if he doesn't want to show up for OTA's, he doesn't have to. I agree with most things PFT says, but I don't like how they are portraying him here. I don’t see the point of ridiculing him over this.

What does it matter anyway? Team FO's play b.s. games with players, and players just return the favor when they need to leverage back. Thats the field they've been dealt to play on by management, so to expect them to jump through all your hoops on every command is a little bit unreasonable when you won't properly take care of your best players on principle alone, ie: without them having to ask (beg) for it. Roy Williams would be welcomed on any team in the league. Class guy, all business. Including this statement. What part of "voluntary" do people not understand? You guys are such corporate ball washers, i swear. Turn in your man cards. @ Son of a Submariner

Get the hell out of Detriot while you have a chance. Have a big year and you are next years top WR FA. Moss and T.O. money are in your future. I don’t understand why he would WANT an extention.

Why is every thing so cloak and dagger? This is a non-issue. He just said it was his fault. What is missing a couple days of an OTA, only to show up any way, going to prove? How does that say, "I WANT A LONG TERM CONTRACT NOW!" or "PAY ME MORE MONEY!" This guy has been nothing but a consumate professional. He is the anti-thesis of the typical, prima-donna NFL Wide Reciever. Lets give the guy the benefit of the doubt. He may have a desire to leave Detroit, but I don't think that is going to get in the way of a productive season, since he is in a contract year. Detroit just may very well give him his big contract.

Heck one time I showed up at the airport on the wrong day, a day early, and was still able to fly out. Hard to believe he tried for two days and couldn't get a flight!! Still it doesn't matter, it is voluntary and him being there isn't that big of a deal. Son of a Submariner is right.
