Seahawks’ GM zip-lipped about any new deal for Kam Chancellor

Draft’s over. Rookie minicamp is on the way.

So, hey, what’s up with that contract extension for Kam Chancellor?

Seahawks general manager John Schneider was asked that Tuesday on Seattle’s KJR-AM radio.

“I’d love to get into that with you,” Schneider told morning host Mitch Levy, “but I’m not going to.”

Levy pressed the GM on when he would talk about getting a new deal done with his 29-year-old strong safety. Schneider said he would comment after it’s done — if, he added, there ends up being a new deal.

Despite Chancellor’s advancing age, his fruitless holdout in 2015 and injuries that have cost him games in recent seasons, it would be surprising if the Seahawks don’t settle on a new contract with him before the season begins in September.
