Kam Chancellor refocused on teammates after 2015 holdout
(AP) — After a contentious holdout last year that extended two weeks into the regular season, Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor is enjoying football again.
"The presence and the atmosphere is amazing," cornerback DeShawn Shead said of having Chancellor with the team this year in training camp.
[...] Chancellor's holdout resulted in nothing gained for the star safety and a massive amount of fines for the missed time.
[...] despite not getting the new contract he desired, Chancellor has managed to turn the page on the contractual front and focus once again on his teammates.
When the offense ran the same play again later in practice, Chancellor read what was coming and jumped the route to force an incompletion on a pass to Doug Baldwin.
After a 2-4 start to the year, Seattle won eight of their final 10 games to earn a wild card spot.
In the divisional round, Seattle fell into a 31-0 hole to the Carolina Panthers before scoring 24 straight points to nearly overcome the deficit.
