Seahawks' dynasty will face NFL reality

The warning came from the unlikeliest of places, not from a talking head but from a Seattle Seahawks star in three simple words. A day later, Pro Bowl linebacker Wagner signed a four-year, $43 million extension. The tweet wasn't directed at anyone, he said. B.J. RajiJerseyHe was just pointing out a fact of life in a salary-cap sport. The Seahawks drafted many stars, now they want their first big contract and it'll be impossible to keep this entire fantastic group together. "It was just a statement man, the truth to this football business," Wagner said. "Wasn't trying to say it to anybody in particular, just a fact of this game. When you have so many great players, it's hard to keep everybody. But we try our best." [Yahoo Sports Fantasy Football: Sign up and join a league todayl] Wagner said he is happy to have security, as he should be. Quarterback Russell Wilson was happy after he signed an extension last week that http://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BART_STARR_JERSEY.htmlmade him the second-highest paid quarterback in the NFL at a little less than $21 million a year. Defensive lineman Michael Bennett isn't so thrilled, but he's here after considering a holdout for more money. "Hopefully it'll get worked out," Bennett said, who said he reported because he wanted to come and get better as a player. "I'll play as hard as I can. It's not going to go away. This problem is not going to go away unless it's solved. "I don't think about http://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BRETT_FAVRE_JERSEY.htmlthat now, but I know it's not going away until it's resolved. It's one of those things where I'm going to keep knocking on the door and keep knocking on the door until it's open." I'd have asked strong safety Kam Chancellor how he feels, but he's not here. He's holding out for a better contract. His holdout has reached six days. "They can't pay everybody, but they do pay people," Bennett said. "They pay certain people a lot of money and other guys feel like they should be paid just as much as those guys because everybody contributes to the Super Bowls and the championships." Can't keep everyone. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll Archie Manning Jerseyjust hopes he can keep everyone happy as long as he can. While the future will bring challenges, there's no question this season's Seahawks are capable of winning a Super Bowl right now. "It's a challenge if you let it be, it can be a problem," Carroll said of so much contract talk affecting chemistry. "We work so much with our individual guys and we know them so well and we care for them so much that I think we find our ways to work through all the issues. I'm hoping we can do that. I'm counting on it." There are no public signs of fracturing in the locker room. Bennett made it clear that he has no ill will towards Wagner or Wilson or anyone else who got paid, for example. Bennett and other players said they don't think various contract news affects chemistry at all. "I don't think it http://www.saintsonlineofficialshop.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_AUSTIN_JOHNSON_JERSEY.html becomes a distraction," Wagner said. "We're mature enough to understand there's a business side to this game, and a side of the game in which we have to prove ourselves. When we come out on this field, it's all about ball." "It's just a part of it, we've all been through it," linebacker K.J. Wright said. "We let the individual player handle it. We block it out, whenever we step on the practice field it doesn't get brought up. We're focused." Carroll pointed out that while a lot of talk has been about contracts, the Seahawks are having great practices with all the players working together. Then Carroll was asked a question about when Chancellor might return and Carroll admitted he hasn't heard from him in a couple days.
