The Seahawks have yet to sign Devon Witherspoon to a contract extension despite making their initial offer almost four months ago. But if there is any animosity between the team and its star cornerback over the situation, it is not apparent.
As was the case during the offseason program, Witherspoon bounced around with his usual enthusiasm while taking part in the first practice of training camp Saturday. As he was signing autographs for fans afterward, coach Mike Macdonald's 20-month-old son roamed the field at his mother's side dressed in a No. 21 Witherspoon jersey.
"I can tell you this: I couldn't have any more confidence in our process and all the people involved in the whole operation," Macdonald said when asked where things stand with Seattle's efforts to extend Witherspoon's contract. "I think that's the best way to describe it. I'm just really confident right now in where we are, in Spoon and all his people and the way we do business, so I'm just confident.
"And Spoon's doing a great job. He's practicing his tail off. He's the same guy. Nothing's changed. So really, we're just operating as usual right now."
It is not clear why Witherspoon's extension has taken so long to get done, but it might be related to him sharing the same agent as New England Patriots star cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who is also in line for a top-of-the-market deal. Earlier Saturday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft told reporters that the team has offered Gonzalez an extension that would make him the NFL's highest-paid corner. That would mean a new-money average of more than $31 million per season.

More observations from the day:
Macdonald said Nick Emmanwori will not be sidelined "long term" after his recent ankle surgery. As ESPN first reported Wednesday, the second-year safety had an arthroscopic procedure after continuing to deal with soreness in his right ankle, which he sprained four days before Super Bowl LX. Macdonald playfully declined to say whether Emmanwori will be ready for the team's Sept. 9 opener against the New England Patriots, but sources have told ESPN that he's expected back by then.
The Seahawks' coach does not like to give estimates for when rehabbing players will return to play, so running back Zach Charbonnet's timetable remains unknown. But Macdonald shared a positive-sounding update regarding last year's co-starter in his return from ACL surgery in February. "He's done a phenomenal job," Macdonald said of Charbonnet, who is on the physically unable to perform list. "He's attacked the heck out of the offseason and his rehab as you would expect, and the returns have been what he's deserved. He's really put in that work. So, I'm really excited about where he is. No timetable right now, but man, he's kicking butt and he deserves a shoutout because he's a special guy."
