Maybe you missed the infamous quote by Darren Hambrick when he was missing the offseason program because he didn't get a contract extension while he was a RFA. They'd given him a tender, but he was mad, because he thought since he was the starter he deserverd a big contract. So he decided not to show up. Well, now he doesn't have ANY contracts, unless it's by the AFL.
And contrary to that rule, most players know that if they want to stay on their teammates and coaches good side, then they go to through the offseason program, voluntary or not.
