Without jumping to conclusions things we know:
JaMarr is in the final year of his rookie contract
JaMarr wants a new contract
JaMarr is skipping (not sitting out, just not showing up) OTAs even though he's been in town
IMO I'd say his "not showing up" is related to contracts
Others have said it's possibly "by design" to give the other WRs more reps, but I'm "jumping to conclusions".
Here's Adam Scheftner doing the same:

This isn't even the first time he's chosen not to participate in voluntary offseason activities. Last year, he skipped the cardio / lifting portion of the offseason program because he wanted to 'get some real work in besides conditioning and some of the other personal stuff I wanted to work on most.'
You didn't really explain the 'contract issues' either. If Ja'Marr is waiting on Jefferson as he's said...then what are the issues exactly as it pertains to the Bengals and Ja'Marr? Seems kind of hard to negotiate when you're waiting on another player's contract to get done first, wouldn't you say? So, what would Ja'Marr be sitting out over?
