Source: Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor considering training-camp holdout

Add another point of intrigue to the beginning of Seahawks training camp Friday, as safety Kam Chancellor is considering holding out in an attempt to get a new contract.

NFL.com initially reported the news, and a league source confirmed to the Seattle Times that Chancellor is considering holding out and would like to redo his deal.

Chancellor  signed a five-year contract extension in April 2013 worth $35 million with $17 million guaranteed. However, his contract  does not include guaranteed money after this season, when he is due for a base salary of $4.45 million.

Chancellor, 27, is entering his sixth season with the Seahawks and has battled injuries the past few seasons. He missed two games because of a groin injury but had missed only one game previously in his Seattle career.

However, he said in the spring that he felt as healthy this offseason as he had any year since being drafted in 2010, fully recovering from a knee injury suffered the Friday before the Super Bowl.

Chancellor, who is represented by Alvin Keels, joins a list of Seahawks players in some sort of contract intrigue as camp gets set to open Friday.

Quarterback Russell Wilson is attempting to negotiate an extension, as is middle linebacker Bobby Wagner – both are eligible for extensions now that they are in the final season of their initial four-year rookie contracts.

Defensive lineman Michael Bennett also would like a new contract and held out of organized team activities to indicate his unhappiness, though he did attend a mandatory minicamp.

And defensive end Bruce Irvin is miffed that the team did not exercise his contract option for the 2016 season, which would have paid him more than $7 million.

Players can be fined up to $30,000 a day for holding out of training camp.
