Chancellor can only hope to out-wait the Seahawks front office, but that’s a tremendously costly proposition — potentially $30,000 day in fines, plus a share of his $5 million signing bonus up to $1 million.
It is a testament to both the charisma and influence of Kam Chancellor that even in absentia, reverence for his role on the Seahawks flows from both sides.
From teammates, there is no visible bitterness over the fact that while they sweat and toil in Renton, Chancellor’s holdout is now seven days old and counting; indeed, quite the opposite. I think it’s fair to say that players’ attitude toward Chancellor is reflected in Richard Sherman’s comments the other day.
