The 27-year-old hasn’t directly addressed exactly what his problem is with the four-year, $28 million extension he signed in 2013, but according to a Thursday report from Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Chancellor expected to be rewarded with a new contract from Seattle after developing into one of the league’s most feared defenders.
