And you still don’t have a QB. Or a proven head coach.

The usual insane optimism from the crazies.

Why not see if he could end up with the Colts or someone who’s a contender and needs a run-stopper?”

That doesn’t work anymore. Only one team wins the superbowl, and it’s getting harder and harder to try and pick that one team each year. Plus, factor in the moving to a new town, getting to know new players. Maybe if you’re new in the league it’s worth it, but not for a guy like Richard. He’s a special player and Al knows this. He’s in a good situation, the money is good, and the team is moving forward. He’ll retire as a Raider, with a Raider superbowl ring. watch.

As for the Raiders, it would have been tough for them to trade a first-round pick for Seymour and then lose him to free agency before the aforementioned draft pick is even used by New England.

Seymour .Kelly Houston N Shaunasty…..this D line is sick!

  your forgetting trevor Scott too… this d line has a nice blend of vets and young more than decent talent, every year I’m so excited about the secondary, but this year I can’t wait to see what this front four can do, next thing the raiders need is to replace groves with Howard, and if asomoguah stays, one db that doesn’t get beat would make this D something to rave about, oh an whoever said the tuck call was right, did u miss the refs apology to the team the day after that game? If u did the refs apologized for getting the call WRONG, sorry dude…

Once a raider always a raider….the entire team is coming back next year. That includes Bush, Gallery, Nnamd, and Miller. They all have some unfinished business to take care of.

And no the Tuck Rule was not correct. Watch that play in slo mo……Brandy clearly gets both hands back on the ball before it’s stripped. Fumble.

The Raiders had their chance the next season, and got beat by 800 touchdowns by the Bucs.

Fat lazy Seymour was always about the money. He could have been a hall of famer, but decided to half-ass it after 2004.

For an owner who has been said to be senile, AD is making some awesome moves this off-season… Now lets lock up Nmamdi and Z Miller so the rest of the NFL can continue to sweat the ‘Return to Glory’ of the Silver & Black this season!!

Leader and straight baller. You can hate on him all you want but he WANTS to be a Raider and a difference maker. He’s no dummy. He must see something great is about to happen in Oaktown.

I bet they draft a stud DT to get mentored by Big Sey.

Sure they could have franchised him, but we have no idea if it will be available with the new CBA and it is just good to lock him up so we don’t have to go through this again next year.

Some times you just have to move on. The Patriots made the right business decision two years ago and Seymour ended up the happier for it. He won the titles in NE and can afford to play for the money from here on out.

Not sure why he’d want to sign that deal rot with the Raiders, going 7-9 every year until he retires, but to each his own.
