Jamal Adams and the Seattle Seahawks still haven’t come to an agreement on a new contract. The team’s preseason schedule begins tomorrow night, so it’s understandable if some fans are getting antsy about the possibility of Adams’ “hold-in” extending into the season.
Asked today about the possibility of his star strong safety not playing Week 1 against the Colts, coach Pete Carroll said he can’t even imagine it.

The good news is the latest reporting from the Seattle Times indicates the two sides aren’t far apart. Adams is looking for $2 million more in guarantees – from $38 million to $40 million, with bonuses spread out over three years instead of four. That said, Seattle is supposedly “not budging” from what’s been described as their final offer.
Hopefully a deal will be worked out soon. The last thing this team needs is another Kam Chancellor in 2015 situation starting their season off on the wrong foot.
