Kameron Darnel « Kam » Chancellor, né le 3 avril 1988 à Norfolk, est un joueur américain de football américain.
It's a shame we have to tiptoe around the meaning of words when writing about a player who never left a doubt on the field. (I didn’t even go to Catholic school.) Kam Chancellor didn't announce his retirement, but he'll never play football again. While Sherman locked down the left sideline, and Thomas patrolled deep, the electric menace of Chancellor and his dark visor lurked everywhere else. But the team could also work out a settlement, or Chancellor could simply retire and walk away from the rest of his deal.God has given me a sign that I just can’t ignore.
I put all my blood, sweat, and tears into this game.Chancellor remained on Seattle’s roster because his contract included injury guarantees of $6.8 million in 2018, and $5.2 million in 2019, which meant that Seattle was better off financially hanging on to Chancellor and hoping he could pass a physical.I was born in Tacoma and raised by a father who loved the Seahawks and a mother who should have intervened. (Photo by Jim Rogash/Getty Images)Chancellor’s 2018 base salary of $6.8 million became guaranteed in February. In the four consecutive years the Seahawks posted the NFL's top-ranked scoring defense, Chancellor was the least heralded member of the Legion of the Boom triumvirate — he was selected to four Pro Bowls, but never made first team All-Pro, something that Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman both did from 2012-14.I was born in Tacoma and raised by a father who loved the Seahawks and a mother who should have intervened. My favorite Seahawk ever is Marshawn Lynch. Growing up, the Mariners lost and brought me joy, while the Seahawks lost and brought me pain. Il a fait partie de la Legion of Boom et a remporté le Super Bowl XLVIII. In the decade since then, I have also written about the team for SB Nation, Deadspin, and Kissing Suzy Kolber. So Chancellor's not retired; he'll just never play football again. De 2010 à 2018, ce safety joue pour les Seahawks de Seattle en National Football League (NFL).
I stuck with the Seahawks for the same reasons I joined the Marine Corps: I associate suffering with moral righteousness. It’s due to a neck injury he suffered during the 2017 season. Seattle Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor has apparently retired from the game, after a neck injury he suffered earlier this year. The Seattle Seahawks selected Chancellor in the fifth round (133rd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. We're parsing words over a player who never left any doubts about his intentions. [...] To walk away from the game by choice is one thing, to walk away from the game because of the risk of paralysis is another. My final test showed no healing. The longtime Seahawks safety posted a long and heartfelt message about his future and the risks he would be taking to continue playing football.Chancellor took to Twitter to give a lengthy announcement, saying that the final tests performed on his neck “showed no healing,” and suggested that the risk of paralysis — understandably — is too great to continue playing in the NFL.His full statement is heartfelt and touching despite it bringing along such troubling news. He was the second safety the Seahawks drafted in 2010, behind first round pick Earl Thomas, and was the ninth safety selected overall. Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor has announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons.
Chancellor, for what it’s worth, spends a lot of time talking about the next chapter in his life in the statement. Growing up, the Mariners lost and brought me joy, while the…Receivers and running backs of that era may feel differently. This was most memorably on display during the Seahawks' Super Bowl XLVIII blowout, when Chancellor erupted through Demaryius Thomas on a short route five minutes into the game, then intercepted Peyton Manning before the first quarter ended (Chancellor would have been a better selection for Super Bowl MVP than Malcolm Smith, but it's too late to correct historical errors).One of the best to play the game. Kam Chancellor announced his retirement, or something close to it, on Sunday.
My least favorite is Brian Russell.Chancellor owned Megatron.
