Witherspoon's absence from Seahawks camp continues amid rookie contract dispute

Witherspoon, Seattle's first-round pick, has not signed his rookie contract and is not present at the start of training camp.
The issue stems from disagreement over payment schedule of Witherspoon's $21.17 million signing bonus.
Witherspoon wants more money upfront while Seattle defers portions for cash flow purposes.
Witherspoon's absence does not result in fines since he is not yet under contract.
Seahawks have signed other players to account for Witherspoon's absence and injuries.
