Terrell Suggs absent from camp

The Baltimore Ravens held a mandatory mini camp this weekend. There was one player not in attendance that was expected to be, Terrell Suggs. Suggs' contract issues have been well documented. He was franchised for the upcoming season, which he openly accepted. Unfortunately for both parties Suggs didn't agree with his franchise position. He wants to be labeled as a Linebacker because it would mean a pay increase of over $800,000. The two parties need to reconcile these differences because the 5-11 Ravens need as few distractions as possible, especially considering they have a new coaching staff and potential franchise QB.
