FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) - There's a problem on the NFL's most harmonious team.
Richard Seymour, one of the few major stars on a New England Patriots team built to excel without them, was missing on the first day of the Super Bowl champions' mandatory minicamp Thursday.
"Unexcused," coach Bill Belichick said tersely when asked to classify Seymour's absence. "This is our only mandatory minicamp, and so all of the players that are under contract are required to be here."
Seymour's agent, Roosevelt Barnes, did not return a call seeking comment. But the All-Pro defensive lineman has complained that he is underpaid under the six-year, $14.3 million deal he signed in 2001, as a rookie. There are still two years remaining on that deal.
Yeah, you signed a contract, but don't worry about honoring it.
