And you look at the move made by [Patriots head coach Bill] Belichick, and you can see him saying, 'I'd rather get rid of a guy before the last year of his contract.' He knows the Raiders will stink so it's a top-10 pick in return for a guy who's gonna be 30. You know what? That's the business..

Re: Rodney Harrison says Seymour not thrilled with the trade...
I've said it many times and I will say it again. I will miss Seymour this year as will the defense. BB must have a ton of confidence in Brace and Pryor to let this happen. However, it was between him and Wilfork getting to stay with the team next year. Wilfork is younger and Seymour was only able to do his thing BECAUSE Wilfork was doing his job on the D-Line. Wilfork is the anchor and he will get the new contract. We could have kept Seymour this year, took our chances, and lost him for no compensation next year. Or, we could have did what we did and got paid handsomely for it. In our case, we did the latter. If BB AND Rodney think it's a smart move, that's good enough for me.

Re: Rodney Harrison says Seymour not thrilled with the trade...
Now, now.... don't forget the other important part, since we were all assured that Rodney was going to be honest and tell it like it is:
Quote:
"It's a great deal for the Raiders," he said. "Combine Richard with Tommy Kelly on the defensive line, you have [Nnamdi] Asomugha in the secondary, there's some talent there and you've brought in a player who knows how to win and be a professional.

Re: Rodney Harrison says Seymour not thrilled with the trade...
I love Big Sey as much as anyone. Certainly appreciate everything he's done for the team, but after that BS he pulled in 2005, while all the while smugly claiming "it's just business", I don't have much sympathy at this point.
It's just business Rich, now go man up and take your place on that cesspool of an NFL team. You've been traded, get over it.

Seymour's ticked off because he figured he'd play hard this year then hit free agency and land on a good team while they backed up the brinks truck for him. But it's hasn't worked out that way and now he's pouting about it.
If I had a buck for every time he has said "it's just business" I'd be able to afford my own football team. It sure seems (at least to me) that he had no intention of sticking around after this season, so it's a variation of "Careful of what you wish for...".

And it may make other players on the team think twice before playing hardball with the Pats and appreciate the privalege of playing for this well run perennial contender.
