Seahawks receiver Bobby Engram isn’t happy with his contract.  And so he made himself scarce during the offseason, hoping to get a raise over the $1.7 million that he’s due to earn in 2008.

But Engram showed up for training camp on Friday, and was immediately put back into the starting offense.

Engram, 35, signed a two-year contract in 2007, after spending several weeks on the free-agent shelf.  He thus got the best deal he could have obtained at the time, and now he wants to parlay a good season with Seattle into something more.

So why didn’t he just sign a one-year deal?  Probably because he wanted a certain amount of up-front money, and to get it he needed to commit for two years instead of one.

Thus, he needs to honor his contract and then become a free agent in March 2009.  If he gets a better offer than what the Seahawks are willing to do, he should take it.
