08:13 AM ET 06.13 | Chris Clemons has tens of thousands of dollars in fines staring him in the face. [Clemons] was absent from the Seahawks' practice on Tuesday, which marked the start of the team's mandatory three-day minicamp. The absence was not excused, coach Pete Carroll indicated, and subjects him to a fine of as much as $10,000 under the new collective-bargaining agreement. He will be fined an additional $20,000 if he misses a second day and another $30,000 if he misses a third day. ... "This was kind of a late development that he's not (here)," Carroll said. "So I'm a little bit surprised that he's not here. We've had open communications with the agent, and with Chris, and feel like everything is on the up-and-up and very amicable and all that."

This is such a feel-good team. I'm sure we'll find he missed practice because he was adopting a wounded puppy whose mother died defending him from a grizzly bear attack.

Dumb. Just do what Osi used to do. Go to camp, claim your leg hurts and ride the bike on the sideline some.

Wow... a story about an athlete who doesn't care about losing tens of thousands of dollars to prove a point.


Refreshing.

As least u knew TO was always going to be in tip top shape...that was never his issue. It was his mouth and attitude, no one questioned his work ethic. Now this dude on the other hand..

When I read the headline and saw the pic, I thought Carroll refused to come to training camp.
