Kam Chancellor's Holdout: Follow the money

When I replaced incredulity and anger with facts and a generous reading of the situation, solving the riddle of Chancellor's holdout just came down to money, Weird, huh?

For anyone who's covered or followed pro sports for decades, a truism is inescapable:

"Money = respect."

Most things come down to the money, in the end. Why should Kam's dispute be any different just because he's a Seahawk?

Preamble out of the way -- time to state the obvious: this Kam Chancellor holdout has felt weird.

It's weird because Kam's only completed two years of a five-year contract (and only one year of his four-year extension, which started in earnest in 2014).
