AFC East cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Xavien Howard subjected themselves to $93,085 fines by the Patriots and Dolphins for skipping last month's mandatory minicamp. Both players are unhappy with their contracts. The absences could extend to training camp unless their contracts are adequately addressed by their respective teams.
The fines are much more severe in training camp. NFL teams are required to fine players like Gilmore and Howard, who aren't on rookie contracts, $50,000 per day for training camp absences. The Dolphins and Patriots report to training camp on July 25.
