Just curious- did he skip OTAs when he played for NY?

Just curious- did he skip OTAs when he played for NY? Yes. And it was an "issue" in the media there as well. I get it. A dying sports newspaper industry needs clicks, so they overdramatize a bit of a non-issue on an immensely popular player. Duke Johnson missing OTAs can only grab clicks for a day or two. OBJ....for weeks. Everyone is trying to pay the mortgage and put food on the table. Drama sells.

• In addition to Beckham, players absent from practice were receiver Antonio Callaway, safety Damarious Randall, running back Duke Johnson, linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong, left tackle Desmond Harrison and tight end David Njoku. Selfish, bad teammates all of them. https://www.ohio.com/sports/20190530/bro...has-yet-to-come I get your point, but Callaway, Armstrong, and Harrison need to be there. Plenty of room for improvement. I’d add Njoku to that list. Many here have him in the Pro Bowl this year. Personally I see an athlete and not a TE... at this time. He needs work. He’s not a blocker and I don’t see natural instincts in his play. He doesn’t read soft spots in zones well. He’s a work in progress and should be in camp working with coaches and studying his game any time he’s got a chance to be. He could get outplayed and see less playing time this year if he rests on his athletic ability alone. Oh. I skimmed too fast. I definitely would have included Njoku.

OBJ is ruining this team,  May 31st, 2019, 5:16 pm, first time I read this on the board. OBJ. Get over yourself, get in the dang building, and get onto the field, put some time in, put some reps in. Practice makes perfect. This ain't just a phone it in league.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

OBJ is being a "jerk"...seeing how far he can push Kitchens...testing management.
Painting a Rolls orange is so unimpressive.

Or he just knows what is best for his mind and body.

I get OBJ missing the practices, but why are Callaway and Njoku not there? If they are not there because they just don't feel like it, that should make people way more unhinged than OBJ. Those guys both need a ton of work. To not show demonstrates a complete lack of awareness on their part.
I also agree with the poster who said remove the word voluntary when the CBA is renegotiated. It's complete silliness.

I mean when it's mandatory is his mind and body going to magically be ready to go or is he going to Freddie and saying "mind and body aren't ready coach". I doubt his mind and body are on the same schedule as the Browns practice schedule. No, OBJ just doesn't want to be here for something with the label "voluntary", which is his right.

Kitchens and the new offensive coordinator Todd Monken are installing a new offense and obj doesn't believe he needs to show up.
I'm not so sure obj has a future in Cleveland because I doubt that Dorsey is going to put up with obj's diva act.
