Josh Sweat does not participate in Cardinals minicamp amid contract concerns

Arizona Cardinals defensive end Josh Sweat attended mandatory minicamp but did not practice. Despite attending, he has expressed dissatisfaction with his current four-year contract worth $76.4 million after a career-best season with 12 sacks. Head coach Mike LaFleur indicated that Sweat's absence from earlier offseason activities and subsequent non-participation is not problematic. The Cardinals have received trade interest for Sweat, but they plan to retain him. Reports suggest Sweat might be aiming for a pay raise, potentially resulting in further discussions about his future with the team before training camp.
