The Facts:
Driver has joined S Nick Collins in taking issue with his contract, according to sources. Both joined CB Charles Woodson, who has never been a regular to off-season practices, in being the only veteran players absent for the start of organized team activities. Any prolonged absence could put Driver’s $207,280 roster bonus in jeopardy.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Driver, after having his contract reworked in ’06 and ’07, is due to make $6.1 million this season and $7 million in 2010, the final year of his contract, between base salary and bonuses. Last season, Driver, 34, posted his lowest number of catches (74) and yards (1,012) since the ’03 season. Although Driver's agent denies the veteran's absence is contract-related, Bedard believes the veteran likely knows Greg Jennings, who practiced despite not having his new contract, is line for a contract that will exceed Driver's.
