As the Washington Redskins rookies showed up at camp, there was one noticeable absence: quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Every other rookie that was expected to show up for camp on Monday did, except Griffin III, reports WJLA.com. The reason is because Griffin is not allowed to show up because he is not under contract. Training camp for all players starts July 26.

Team spokesman Tony Wylie also says he's unaware of where Griffin and the franchise are in negotiations for the quarterback's first contract.

Griffin had said he wanted a deal that includes offset language, which would reduce the amount of guaranteed money that he would receive in case the Redskins released him some time over the next four years.
