The Facts: Engram skipped Monday’s voluntary veteran mini-camp because he is upset about his contract, according to a source. Engram is displeased, according to the source, that, though he was the team’s most productive wide receiver last season, he is scheduled to be its third-highest paid wideout this season.
Diehards Line:Engram is coming off a season in which his 94 receptions set the franchise record. He gained 1,147 receiving yards, also a career high and one of best seasons in team history. Engram’s six touchdowns were also a career high. He was Matt Hasselbeck’s most reliable target at a time when split end D.J. Hackett was limited to six games because of a series of injuries. ... Engram is in the final season of a contract that will pay him $1.7 million, while injured flanker Deion Branch will make $3.5 million, plus a $660,000 roster bonus. Split end Nate Burleson will make $3.25 million. It is unclear what Engram wants to be paid in a new contract.
