No, Joe Blow fan boys saw things very specifically only from a team perspective and not from a player perspective, but took it to a level well beyond irrational, seemingly incapable of seeing the business side of things with any manner of clear vision. Kam very much accomplished his goals for next year one way or the other and the Seahawks accomplished their goal for this season in standing pat.
The average fan of just about every team is a complete nutjob about their team. The average fan also isn't like that about much of anything else in their lives either. That's just the way it works with football.
Kam still has two years left on his contract, after this season, so holding out next year would be a doubly stupid "business decision." The Seahawks showed very clearly they will not budge from their position just because a player threatens a bad faith holdout.
If Kam or any player decides to holdout again, they should very clearly expect NOTHING in return from the team. The team may or may not offer a slight adjustment in guaranteed money, but they have shown to be highly unlikely to budge from their initial offer.
They did not budge for Marshawn Lynch in his prime, sticking to their original adjustment that was offered before he missed a few days of training camp. They did not budge for a healthy, 27-year-old Kam Chancellor, despite not having a suitable replacement for two games.
What are the chances they will budge for a 28-year-old Chancellor of unknown health with the time and resources to draft or develop a suitable backup strong safety? Slim to none.
