Seattle Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor will continue his training camp holdout as long as his contract isn't addressed, his agent told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

“Nothing has changed,” agent Alvin Keels told ESPN. “He will not report without his contract being addressed this season. The team and I have been in contact, but we haven’t been able to agree on any compromise.”

Chancellor is expected to earn $4,550,000 with Seattle this season. He has three years and $16.88 million remaining on a four-year, $28 million extension that was signed prior to the 2013 season.

Chancellor is nearing the end of his third week of missed practices. Under NFL rules, the Seahawks can fine him $30,000 for each day of training camp missed. Chancellor could potentially face $850,000 of fines and a loss of 25 percent of his signing bonus if the team chooses to penalize the three-time Pro Bowler.
