The NFL Players Assn. has received a grievance from defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy related to the Seahawks’ move, and one from Sam Adams may follow.

Kennedy has complained that the Seahawks’ moving their training facility and headquarters to Anaheim has left him without a place to work out in Seattle, the News Tribune of Tacoma said. His contract includes a $200,000 workout bonus.

Adams, also a defensive tackle, reported to the Anaheim facility Wednesday and has a $100,000 workout bonus. His agent, Angelo Wright, said that the move means he would have to pay about $11,000 in California taxes for training in Anaheim.
