Kam Chancellor bought his mother a house with new contract

Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor signed a five-year $34 million dollar and used the money in to fulfill a promise, buying his mother a house.

“I told my mom that I was going to get her a house a long time ago,” Chancellor said, via Pro Football Talk. “I told her I wanted to get her a house, the first thing I was going to do. Right after mini camp I went home and looked at like 20 houses in two days and there was just this one house that just stuck out and I knew that it was the one she wanted and everything she wanted. She also wanted a car, so the next time I went home I told her we’re going to go get a car from this guy’s house. We go drive to the neighborhood and she’s like, ‘Oh, these houses are nice’ and I’m like ‘Yeah, I know.’ We get to the house and the car is in the driveway and it has a bow on it. It’s a white Lexus and she pulled up to it. She loved it. She was smiling and happy and tried to open it but the door was locked. I said, ‘You have to go in the house to get the keys from the guy,’ so I’m knocking on the door and no one is answering. I have all my nephews, nieces, sisters, brothers and coaches all in the house just waiting for her and once she opened the door, everyone jumps out and says surprise. She was so happy and it just felt good. She deserves it.”
