Richard Seymour Exiled To The Raiders...

[docicu3]

The Patriots once again decided that a Pro Bowl stars 15 minutes of fame were up yesterday when their best defensive lineman was asked to play the last year of his contract with Al Davis and the Raiders of the Lost.

The Pats receive the Raiders first round choice in 2011 which probably will turn out to be a top 5 pick which they undoubtedly will turn into 3 second round draft picks. The formula works and everyone is expendable.

a first round draft pick for a past his prime defensive lineman with injury problems in the last year of his contract.

Nice Al.

Nice Al.

At some point the NFL has to consider stepping in and taking control of the team.

I agree but...the NFL doesnt exactly want to get into litigation with Mr. Davis again. The last few were pretty brutal. I want to know who the Patriots planted in that organization.

it's hard to believe al davis was on sid gillman's staff in san diego many years ago. at one time he was a good football man. now he's just lost.

I read 2011 not 2010.

Who the hell cares about two years from now ... Randy Moss will be two years older by that time.

I know the whole line of thinking ... we want to sign Wilfork, we can't sign Seymour next year so he's basically got just one year left with us ... so why not give up that one year for a future first round pick instead of watching him leave and getting nothing.

Screw that. Win now. This hurts the chances of them going 19-0.

2004 seems like centuries ago. It's over, Johnny.

Still hasnt reported yet. I bet Seymour is trying to work out some kind of extension or signing bonus.

Day 3 of waiting for Godot....Don't put it past Seymour to take a year off. The guy is wired differently than alot of these guys. I realize he could never make up the almost 4 million this would cost him to sit out but he is the only player of the "Camelot" years to get the better of the Patriots at the negotiating table. It wouldn't surprise me if he decided the Patriots were never going to see that draft choice as his response to being traded. This one isn't over yet.
