Chiefs guard Brian Waters and Tony Gonzalez, the team's only Pro Bowlers last season, did not attend the team's first minicamp session Saturday morning at Chiefs headquarters.

Running back Larry Johnson, who has often expressed his unhappiness in Kansas City, attended and worked with the first-team offense.

Waters reportedly asked to be traded and released earlier in the offseason after a sour first impression with the new staff. Gonzalez hasn't said definitively that he wants to stay or go, has occasionally skipped minicamps in the past.

For the record, this weekend's minicamp is technically voluntary.

Wade Smith worked at first-team left guard in place of Waters, and Brad Cottam was the first-team tight end.
