The Facts: Engram, who had a team-record and career-high 94 receptions last season, said Sunday his contract dispute may keep him away when training camp begins at the end of July. Engram has been skipping voluntary mini-camps that conclude this week because he wants more than the final year and $1.7 million he has remaining on his two-year deal.
Diehards Line:Because training camp is mandatory for all players under contract, the Seahawks could fine him for missing any of it. ... Meanwhile, team officials appear unwilling to re-negotiate with Engram until his current deal ends -- not surprising given he will be 36 in January. But the Seahawks will already be missing veterans Deion Branch and D.J. Hackett. Branch is recovering from reconstructive knee surgery and may not be ready for the season opener Sept. 7 at Buffalo. Hackett signed a free-agent contract with Carolina in the offseason. Other than Engram, Nate Burleson is the only proven veteran receiver practicing with the team.
