Sure, this might hurt the Seahawks and their chances, but nobody can question Kam Chancellor’s rights to his millions

You know that Seahawks fans, regardless of their reverence for the man, can’t be pleased with Kam Chancellor’s contract. He hasn’t played since the middle of the 2017 season, won’t likely take the field again, yet he collected $6.8 million last season and nabbed another $5.2 million in guaranteed money for 2019.

This is what prompted former NFL agent Joel Corry to dub Chancellor’s deal the Worst Contract-Year Extension award for a team in last year’s NFL Contract Awards for CBSSports.com

As for Chancellor himself? The deal was nothing short of brilliant.

When the former Seahawk strong safety held out for the first two games of the 2015 season, his plan seemed either selfish or misguided or both.
