I won't call anyone a hack, but this could easily blow over or never have been to begin with. It seems like rabble-rousing. I was taught that you start a story with a single source, not publish it. Especially not a single undisclosed source, a foundation so flimsy the phrase "the foolish man who built his house on sand" implies too much substance. True or not, I'm very surprised the Trib would publish something so sketchy. This is based on one undisclosed source and hasn’t been confirmed by the team or the player.

This "players wanting new contracts" situation has officially gotten out of hand. He finally breaks 1,000 yards after 13 years and he thinks he's Chad Johnson now? A potential Bobby Engram holdout?

Engram has few reasons to be unhappy. During his lengthy issues with his thyroid disorder Seattle stood by him, and among other things, continued to pay him. They gave him a deal, when he was discarded by the Bears, and they have continued to work with him in a fair and forthright manner. If he is not there for "personal reasons" then just maybe that is exactly what it is, no matter how badly "some internet hack" might be looking to generate some sort of news buzz during an otherwise dead time of the season.

If Engram even holds out for a new contract I'll laugh. He's been a solid go to guy for them, but the only real memory of him that I have is a single catch that he had in the playoffs. Hahaha.
