KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Bobby Engram was back practicing with the Seahawks after skipping the last offseason two minicamps because he was unhappy with his contract.
The 35-year-old wide receiver worked with the starting offense for the first practice of training camp Friday morning. Engram is entering the final year of a two-year contract worth $1.7 million this season.
Engram said he chose to return simply to honor his contract. He believes he can play at a top level for as many as five more seasons. He hopes at least three of them are in Seattle, but is prepared to play somewhere else beginning next season.
He led the Seahawks with career-highs in receptions (94) and receiving yards (1,147) last season and tied his career high with six touchdowns.
The Seahawks signed first-round draft pick Lawrence Jackson to a five-year, $11.25 million contract on Friday. Second-round draft choice John Carlson is the only Seahawks not in camp. The tight end from Notre Dame remains unsigned.
