The NFL offseason is starting to ramp up for a number of NFL teams, which includes the Cleveland Browns, who had a number of players report to the team's facilities on Tuesday for the first day of voluntary OTAs.
Of course, their first matchup of the regular season is not until Sept. 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but this gives an opportunity for rookies and veterans alike to get back into the groove of things.
However, one player who was not in attendance was defensive end Myles Garrett, who last season was named the Defensive Player of the Year and signed a four-year, $160 million extension in March.
Instead of joining his teammates for practice, he can be found in Tokyo, Japan, according to an Instagram story he posted on Wednesday.
Despite these practices not being mandatory, several Browns fans have taken to social media questioning whether Garrett is showing enough commitment for the upcoming season.
"Gets what he really wanted and the Browns still look like fools. Should have just traded him," said one comment.
"lol coming off a 3-14 season btw that man isn’t a leader at all," said another.
"Unserious player for an unserious franchise," a third added.
A fourth stated, "I thought he said he was gonna be more of a leader."
"Very disappointed in Myles, he's really loosing the respect I had for him quickly. Captains don't do (expletive) like this," a fifth continued.
"#Browns are in desperate need of a real leader in that locker room," said another.

Of course, Garrett technically doesn't need to show up to any of the Browns' practices until they hold their mandatory veteran minicamp, which is set to run from start on June 10 and run through June 12.
