SEATTLE -- Seahawks Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams will not participate in the team's mandatory minicamp this week as he has been excused as he deals with a family matter, coach Pete Carroll confirmed.
The 25-year-old also is seeking a new contract.
Adams was among a handful of Seahawks who were not seen at any of the organized team activities that were open to media. Many of the team's veteran players skipped in-person work for much of the voluntary offseason program before showing up during the final week of OTAs.
Players who skip mandatory minicamp without excused absences are subject to fines totaling more than $93,000.
