Duane Brown a no-show at Houston Texans' mandatory minicamp

Houston Texans left tackle Duane Brown failed to attend the team's mandatory minicamp that began Tuesday.

Brown's absence is due to his desire for a new contract, the Houston Chronicle reported.

The 31-year-old has two seasons remaining on his six-year contract, but there is no more guaranteed money remaining on the deal. He is slated to make a base salary of $9.65 million in 2017 and $9.75 million in 2018.

Brown, who was a Pro Bowl alternate last season, failed to show for the Texans' voluntary OTAs earlier this off-season.
