Seahawks receiver Bobby Engram has been avoiding all voluntary offseason workouts as an expression of his desire for a new contract.

Engram, the team’s leading receiver in 2007, now says he might not show up for the start of training camp.

It’s a possibility,” Engram said Sunday.  “We’ll see what happens.”

Signed through 2008 at a salary of $1.7 million, Engram wants “a couple-year extension.” 

The Seahawks reportedly won’t re-do Engram’s deal.  One of the realities in this regard is that Engram is 35 years old.

Another reality is that it now costs more than $15,000 to avoid a day of training camp.  Also, a holdout could immediately expose Engram to owing the Seahawks 25 percent of his signing bonus allocation for 2008.  Since he received $880,000, that translates to $110,000.  If he doesn’t play at all in 2008, he’ll owe the Seahawks $440,000.

So we think he’ll be there.
