The main focus today has been on the Russell Wilson contract extension, but a secondary storyline is the apparent unhappiness that several Seahawks defenders have in their current contracts. All Pro safety Kam Chancellor has decided to hold out, while defensive tackle Michael Bennett, who threatened holdout, ended up showing up but expressed a feeling of disrespect from the Seahawks' front office.
Pete Carroll addressed both of these things when he talked to the media following practice.
"I think that I'm compassionate, I understand," he said, when asked for his reaction to the players' decisions.
