Kam Chancellor hurting his teammates because he sucks at math

Kam Chancellor is still a no-show. This entire saga has gone from ridiculous to… something even more ridiculous than ridiculous.

Another week without Kam means he forfeits another $268,000. He’ll now have lost $536,000 in total this season by not showing up and doing his job.

Keep in mind that this entire pile of nonsense. Is reportedly over just a $900,000 difference in his 2016 salary. So even if the Seahawks cave in and give Kam what he wants (They won’t.), Chancellor will have done all of this for about $400,000.

That is all he stands to gain right now. If Kam’s contract holdout tells us anything at all, it is that he absolutely has no idea how math works.

So for under half a million dollars, Kam has left his teammates, his “brothers” according to him, out in the cold without him now for two games. The godfather of the Legion of Boom would rather sit at home and pout than help his teammates, and all for what is essentially pocket change in the NFL.

Of course, that is only if the Seahawks waive the roughly $1.5 million in fines that Chancellor has compiled. Every day that he continues this drama, that becomes less and less likely to happen.

And yet, even knowing that, he remains gone. Or maybe he’s doesn’t understand that, because clearly math isn’t his thing.

A week ago, Chancellor called the Seahawks “petty” for not giving him what he wants. That of course begs the question: If the Seahawks are being petty, what is Kam Chancellor being?
