What do you guys think of Kam Chancellor's holdout, must be getting worrying for any Seahawks fans
I posted my 2 cents on this here (
http://forum.cyclingnews.com/viewtopic.php?p=1799158#p1799158). I call it the
Jack Wagon post for the reasons in the link. And I am a BIG Hawks fan. But TBH I'm not worried or concerned. It is what it is.
There is an interesting twist to this now, that being the Hawks possible signing of ex-Bills RB Fred Jackson. If Hawks sign Jackson but refuse to give Cam more money, then Cam will likely look at this as if Hawks really don't want him anymore for whatever reason (likely that the organization will have grown tired of the holdout). Since Hawks are not being quick to sign Jackson it looks like they are waiting for the Cam situation to work out.
When the regular season begins (does someone know exactly when that is?), Cam's fine will jump to about 1/4 Million bucks per week. I expect Cam to at least wait until this Sunday to report in if he's going to at all. But if he doesn't report in by the time preparations for the first regular season game begins and decides to continue the holdout and let his teammates down, then I say trade him for a couple first rounders if SEA can get that. And then next man up.
Thing about Cam is, he is a very unique SS. I don't know of anyone in the NFL quite like him. And while he did get a new deal a few years ago, he has grown a lot as a player since then and his performance justifies a pay raise. And he's a good dude normally (not so good if he lets the team down). So I really hope it works out, even if that means SEA does not bite on signing Fred Jackson and they give that money to Cam instead.
