Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin's mantra has always been hard work and vowed that wouldn't change just because of a breakout season, but Austin's hard work is happening far away from Valley Ranch, a significant change from previous offseasons. Austin, who hopes to cash in after his Pro Bowl season with a long-term contract, is avoiding the Cowboys' voluntary workouts. He's working out on his own in California, which means he isn't catching passes from Tony Romo. Source: ESPN
distance makes the heart grow fonder. i don't he'd miss mandatory workouts, but is playing his hand and only showing up when needed. as long as he is there day 1 of mini-camp no foul.
