Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

[quote=Mattyk72;585031]Can't make decisions in this league based on loyalty. Seymour is on the last year of his contract, and for the Pats to get a first rounder for a guy about to hit 30 and they had no intentions of giving a big money deal to is simply smart business.[/quote]

I guess so. The guy was coming off a good year. 30 years old doesn't mean you can't play anymore. But what is it with Robert Kraft? He seriously doesn't want to pay anyone.

[quote=T.O.Killa;585966]I think the Pats are going to be 8-8 this year. They went to far this time with the next man up thing. Plus, I still hate them for the ass whipping they gave us and Joe Gibbs.[/quote]

It's the NFL, not pee wee league.

I don't think this has anything to do with Kraft, just Darth Hoody wanting to prove that he can win with or without anyone. He already proved that he can win without Tom Brady and now he's going to try to prove that he can win with a skeleton defense (no Seymour, Vrabel, Bruschi, etc., etc.)

The NFL is also a professional league and that's the one thing I wish Goodell would get on the Dark Hooded One about...however Belichick has immunity by way of those three SB rings and the whinny Boston media, so until he royally screws up, he can continue to be the a$$hole that he is.

But then again let's remember that the following year he lost his starting QB and missed the playoffs despite winning 11 games, which I am sure pissed him off.

Not sure about not wanting to pay [I]anyone[/I], it's more about not wanting to pay [I]everyone[/I]. They have a few other key FA's coming due and then there's Brady who's due for a mega deal soon.

[quote=DBUCHANON101;585967]Seymour has to be contemplating retirement. I would. hey you have 3 rings and lots of $$ nothing more needs to be done. I cant see why anyone would go to oakland. he has to feel like the Pats just kicked him in the fellas.[/quote]

I doubt retirement is a serious option. He's 29 and has plenty of quality seasons left. He would be leaving a lot of money on the table if he retired now.

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

Yeah, but he can retire, then re-sign, then retire again, then re-sign till he gets on the Dolphins so that he can get back at BB. I heard it's gonna be in the new CBA, if you want to re-sign with your team's arch rival, you must officially retire 2 times.

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

12th man is right

They made a choice to go with younger Vince Wilfork over Seymour

This is the second time I know of the Raiders hooked up the Pats on some Kevin Mchale Danny Ainge type shit

Didnt they "give" em Moss for a 3rd rounder lmao?

I don't care if he wanted out....make em pay

Actually it was a 4th rounder if I'm not mistaken. And all he's done in two seasons with the Pats is start every game and catch about 170 passes for 2500 yards and 34 TDs. 34! And one of those seasons was with a totally unproven QB slinging it. Pretty decent return on investment for NE I'd say.

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

thats my point. lol

and now this, a 30 year old de for a probable top 3 pick in the draft

Al Davis is just hooking Bich Tits Bellicheck up left and right...

and it all started with the tuck rule!!!

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

Don't forget the Pats got Burgess from the Raiders for a third and fifth round pick in 2010

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

thats right...I almost forgot

I'm seriously wondering wtf is going on here...

I know Al Davis is an old over the hill goon....but there are too many weird deals between these teams that benefit the pats

But I am also the biggest Pats Hater this side of the Mississsipi

Re: Raiders get Richard Seymour?
 

PFT is reporting that the Raiders want their pick back if Seymour doesn't show up. In this rare instance, I actually agree with the Raiders, if this is true of course. I hope the league doesn't go Tuck Rule/Brady Rule and allow the Pats to keep the pick. They should null the trade and force the Pats to take Seymour back.
