Kam Chancellor ends contract holdout, returns to Seahawks

Sheil Kapadia

Kam Chancellor has ended his lengthy contract holdout and returned to the Seattle Seahawks after missing the first two games of the season.

The Seahawks, who are 0-2 after losses to St. Louis and Green Bay, confirmed that Chancellor arrived at the team facility on Wednesday morning. It was his first appearance since June's minicamp and ended a holdout that lasted nearly eight weeks.

If the Seahawks forgive the fines that Kam Chancellor accrued during his holdout, it will set a new precedent that no NFL owner wants to see.

What Kam Chancellor's return means for Seattle Seahawks
Seattle's defense has not been the same without Kam Chancellor, and neither has its leadership. The safety's return should alter things for the better.
Chancellor, who had been holding out in hopes of getting his contract restructured, told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith that he intends to revisit his contract situation after the season.

"Ima go help my teammates that are understanding of my position and the ones who aren't," Chancellor said in a text message to Smith. "God forgives all, why can't i? Time to help us get back to the big dance. I can address business after the season. Me and Marshawn started a mission 2 years ago. I can't let my Dawg down....Real talk."

Chancellor signed a four-year, $28 million extension after the 2012 season, but the deal didn't take effect until 2013. The Seahawks refused to budge on restructuring a contract that had three years remaining, asserting that it would lead to a stream of players seeking new deals in the early stages of their contracts.

One of the league's top safeties and a leader of the "Legion of Boom" secondary, Chancellor is scheduled to make $5.1 million in base salary in 2016 and $6.8 million in 2017.

In missing Seattle's first two games, Chancellor forfeited two game checks of $267,647. It is unclear whether the organization will waive the three-time Pro Bowler's fines for skipping training camp.

The reigning two-time NFC champion Seahawks have given up 11 pass plays of 20-plus yards, second most in the NFL. Dion Bailey started the first game at strong safety before being replaced by DeShawn Shead in Week 2.

Bully for them. Hope he is out of shape and stinks up the place.

I wonder if some of the other D players are kinda ticked at him.

Rumors that J Graham isn't happy either w his lack of targets.

Might not be the happiest locker room.
