RENTON, Wash. (AP) -Not everything was perfect on Pete Carroll’s first day of Seahawks training camp. His two first-round picks remained unsigned.
The agents for both Russell Okung, the sixth-overall pick, and for starting safety and 14th choice Earl Thomas had been hopeful their clients would be on the field by Saturday.
Thomas tweeted he was “waiting patiently … seems like forever.”
He and Okung, the replacement for retired left tackle Walter Jones, became the sixth and seventh of Seattle’s last nine first-round picks to be late for training camp.
Okung had a salary slot seemingly set for him. Eric Berry got $34 million guaranteed from Kansas City as the fifth pick. And seventh-overall choice Joe Haden received $26 million from Cleveland.
