Texans' Duane Brown: Not attending minicamp

Brown is skipping the Texans' mandatory minicamp this week due to an ongoing contract dispute, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Brown will be subject to fines totaling over $80K if his absence continues throughout the week, which is the expected outcome at this point. He has two years left on a six-year deal but wants to renegotiate the contract before he turns 32 in August. Expect Brown to hold out until talks improve with the Texans.
