Former prized signing wastes no time getting off on wrong foot with John Harbaugh

Key Points:
- Paulson Adebo, the Giants cornerback entering the second year of his three-year, $54 million contract, did not attend the first day of voluntary offseason workouts under new head coach John Harbaugh, and did not notify the coach of his absence.
- Adebo is within his rights to skip voluntary workouts as per the Collective Bargaining Agreement, but his unexplained absence stands out compared to other players who missed workouts for known reasons.
- Adebo had a disappointing first season with the Giants, playing 12 games with subpar performance and a low Pro Football Focus coverage grade, raising questions about his commitment and future impact.
- Harbaugh remained unfazed by Adebo's absence, emphasizing the voluntary nature of the workouts and expressing openness to hearing Adebo's reasons but noting the lack of communication is unusual.
- Other Giants players absent included Dexter Lawrence, who requested a trade, and Sam Roberts, recovering from surgery, making Adebo's unexplained absence the most notable on the first day of workouts.
