Report: Kam Chancellor(Seahawks) wants more money, threatens holdout

[polamalubeast]

Seattle safety Kam Chancellor may not be there when the Seahawks report to training camp.

Chancellor wants more money and has told the Seahawks he is strongly considering a holdout, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 27-year-old Chancellor still has three seasons remaining on the contract he signed in 2013 and is scheduled to make $5.65 million this year, so he wouldn’t appear at first blush to have a lot of leverage.

But he’s an important part of the league’s best defense, and he becomes even more important with the Seahawks’ secondary depleted by the shoulder injury suffered by Earl Thomas in the Super Bowl, an injury that may keep Thomas out at the start of the regular season. And the Seahawks showed last year with Marshawn Lynch that they’re willing to re-do a player’s deal if that’s what they need to do to get that player in camp.

So Chancellor might have a shot at a raise if he plays his cards right. And if he holds out for a significant period of time, the Seahawks will be scrambling at safety.

This is what happens when you try to make the Quarterback the hero in the Super Bowl.

Go Hokies!!!

Get that money, Kam!


:lol:

Their defense deserves to be paid more so than their "elite" QB anyways.

Exactly why they should have told Lynch to pack sand last year. Redo a deal early for one, now everyone wants more money. Besides it's not like they were going to let Lynch win the Superbowl for them anyhow.

Pay him! Pay them all! It will be so great when their entire team is Wilson and Sherman and nobody else.

This is a joke. He just signed this deal in 2013? Still has three seasons left on it? Good Luck Kam.

Kam Chancellor a no-show for start of Seahawks camp


The Legion of Boom could be a bust, at least for now.

With safety Earl Thomas likely headed for the PUP list and cornerback Richard Sherman still a bit of a question mark after not having surgery on an elbow he dislocated in the NFC title game, safety Kam Chancellor has opted not to show up for the start of camp, due to dissatisfaction with his contract.

Per multiple reports, Chancellor officially will be holding out.
