Neither tight end Vernon Davis nor offensive lineman Alex Boone showed up for the San Francisco 49ers’ mandatory minicamp Tuesday.
Now that 49ers’ Vernon Davis and Alex Boone are officially holdouts, there is only one surprising aspect: Davis’ not showing up for minicamp, writes Bill Williamson. Story
“I’m disappointed in that decision for them not to be here. … [It’s] not the decision I envision being the 49er way,” coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday.
Davis said in a radio interview last week that he planned on attending the minicamp then changed his tune earlier this week, indicating in a guest column for Sports Illustrated’s MMQB that he would hold out.
“In 2010 I signed a five-year, $37 million contract extension with $23 million guaranteed. It was the biggest contract for a tight end in league history,” Davis wrote. “Four years later, and I’m playing at a higher level than I was then, which brings me to why I’m holding out. It’s all about getting paid what you deserve. It’s not that complicated. I want the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, and I want to be on the field this summer working towards that goal, but I have to worry about my future first.”
