RENTON, Wash. -  Not everything was perfect on Pete Carroll's first day of Seahawks training camp. His two first-round picks remained unsigned.

The agents for both Russell Okung, the sixth-overall pick, and for starting safety and 14th choice Earl Thomas had been hopeful their clients would be on the field by Saturday.

Thomas tweeted he was "waiting patiently ... seems like forever."

He and Okung, the replacement for retired left tackle Walter Jones, became the sixth and seventh of Seattle's last nine first-round picks to be late for training camp.

Okung had a salary slot seemingly set for him. Eric Berry got $34 million guaranteed from Kansas City as the fifth pick. And seventh-overall choice Joe Haden received $26 million from Cleveland.
