The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... The Seattle Seahawks are not going to renegotiate Engram’s contract, despite Engram’s displeasure with his salary. The Seahawks are adamant that Engram plays out the final season of his two-year, $3.4 million contract, after which they would be willing to negotiate with Engram as a free agent.
Diehards Line:Engram skipped a second day of the team’s four-day voluntary mini-camp Tuesday in protest of what he believes is an unfair contract based on his record-setting (94-catch) production last year. He wrote a letter to HC Mike Holmgren, dropping it off on his desk Tuesday morning. Though Holmgren said he had not yet read the letter before he met with the media following Tuesday’s practice, he said he assumed the letter explained why Engram is skipping the team’s mini-camp. ... As News Tribune staffer Frank Hughes speculated, the note might have pointed out that Engram's $1.7 million salary was nearly half of what injured flanker Deion Branch ($3.5 million) and Nate Burleson ($3.25 million) will make.
