Giants-Seahawks Reportedly Discussed Chancellor, Safety Hasn't Been Informed of Potential Deal

Saturday, Sept. 5

According to Jordan Raanan of NJ.com, the New York Giants have called the Seahawks about a deal for Chancellor.

"They've inquired about and expressed serious interest in the availability of Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl safety Kam Chancellor, an individual with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media," Raanan wrote.

Raanan's report does state the talks were "only preliminary," so nothing is imminent or even necessarily likely to happen.

Despite the reported talks, Josina Anderson of ESPN said Chancellor had "not been informed of any interested trade partners at this time."

Safety has become a black hole for the Giants, as Raanan noted the team missed out on free agent Devin McCourty. Injuries have already depleted the position before the real games begin, as Mykkele Thompson (Achilles) and Nat Berhe (calf) are out for the season.

Chancellor has been holding out since the Seahawks opened camp July 31, seeking a bigger deal even though he has three years left on a contract he signed in 2013.

The Seahawks have been locking up their core players, including Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson, to long-term deals over the last year.

Chancellor, who is just 27, is a big part of Seattle's dominant secondary, but all of those other deals will start to test the limits of Seattle's salary cap. He may not be on the move right away, but if his demands get too high, the Seahawks may not have a choice but to explore serious trade offers.
