If Wideman has refused to waive his NMC in previous years, if he came into camp uncommitted or out of shape, if he isn't following the X's and O's or giving younger players a poor role model in bring a professional, those could all be examples of why he organization might be less than thrilled with him.
Getting ripped by the coaching staff more than once a year for lacking professionalism is a pretty efficient way to have your bosses become frustrated that they are forced to pay this guy 6 million bucks this year.

That's all true regarding the organization outside the players, but assuming that the reporter was correct in the mention of Gulutzan having to pull Wideman aside to remind him of being a "good professional & good teammate", I'm also very inclined to think that he's less than popular in the locker room at this point as well.
