Fresh off a resolution to a contract stalemate with Jamal Adams, the Seattle Seahawks remain stuck in a similar situation with left tackle Duane Brown.
That might not end anytime soon—though both sides have reportedly shown willingness to engage in discussion as the season-opener nears.
According to Gregg Bell of The News Tribune, the Seahawks "remain reluctant" to give Brown a new deal that goes beyond 2021. As of Thursday, that means the veteran will enter his age-36 season as an impending free agent.
The four-time Pro Bowler has started all 16 games in seven of his 14 seasons in the NFL between Seattle and the Houston Texans.
