Curry missing on second day of Seahawks’ camp

RENTON, Wash. — Seahawks top draft choice Aaron Curry remains unsigned and absent on the second day of Seattle’s training camp.

Seattle finished the first of two practices Saturday without the No. 4 overall pick.

The Seahawks are counting on Curry to start at outside linebacker.

The team and Curry’s representatives continue to negotiate in what Seahawks general manager Tim Ruskell has called a “nonstop” effort.

Ruskell has said the sticking point is Curry’s representatives basing their position on the $28 million guaranteed that fifth overall pick Mark Sanchez got from the New York Jets.

The Seahawks believe top quarterbacks traditionally get richer deals than players at other positions.
