SportsLine.com wire reports
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- With the regular season under way this week, standout tackle Walter Jones signed a one-year deal and joined the Seattle Seahawks for practice Monday.
Jones, designated the team's franchise player, missed this year's training camp while he waits for a long-term contract offer. He has missed most of the previous three training camps, as well.
Jones is coming off his fourth Pro Bowl season and will earn $7.1 million this year, the average pay for the NFL's highest-paid offensive linemen. He was Seattle's first-round draft pick in 1997.

Sounds more like this guy just wants to avoid training camp than anything else. Not a real "team" player IMO.

We're seeing this type of crap more and more. IMO is complete b#ll! These guys are professionals football players and they act like they are payed like teachers.
Sorry had to through in the ole' "teacher bit". I am a personal aid for a 4th grade autistic boy, and the pay all around blows, but the experience is worth it.
