2017 was a bad year to skip the first couple days of camp, if you’re a Seattle Seahawks fan. There was the Malik McDowell kerfuffle (unresolved) and the Kam Chancellor contract sitch (resolved). And other things. But those two are the big plot lines.
Chancellor’s deal is large. It pays him $12 million annually after this season, an annual average higher than fellow safety Earl Thomas (4/40). Higher than Bobby Wagner (4/43) and Doug Baldwin (4/46) Higher than... well, higher than every Seahawk except Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.
If your training camp bingo card had “New Kam contract extension,” your odds of winning didn’t look so good last weekend. Well, now...
