SEATTLE -- Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon, the fifth overall pick in this year's draft, was not on the field for the start of training camp Wednesday as the two sides have been unable to reach an agreement on his rookie contract.
"He's not here today," coach Pete Carroll said afterward. "He knows everything he needs to know. I can't imagine he won't be here very soon."
Witherspoon is the lone 2023 draft pick who remains unsigned, according to Spotrac.com. At issue, a source confirmed to ESPN, is the payment schedule of his slotted $21.
