I'm facinated by this situation. If Sey fails the physical, do the Pats IR him? or do they re-Physical Seymore themselves and if he passes, then what? Does the threat of his contract year being spent on IR discourge Sey from, as Reiss puts it in todays chat, "fails his physical (wink, wink)".

The Pats start over and trade Sey to KC for a 2 and a 5. Davis knows this and certainly doesn't want KC to gain the upper hand in the division. Davis wants Sey. Also, since Seymour is now a Raider any injury incurred after the trade would not nulify it.

Does the trading team evaluate the health of traded players in an exit interview? How would anyone know when an injury occured?

Just posted this in the other thread. There is potential here for problems if things start going south.

Each team has it's own medical guidelines apparently, and all the Raiders neeed to establish is that Seymours physical condition does not meet their needs.

See Lee Suggs:

Quote:

Running back Lee Suggs failed his physical with the New York Jets on Tuesday, voiding his trade from Cleveland......

"We have a whole series of tests that we do, and we were very thorough with the process," Jets coach Eric Mangini said. "He just didn't pass those tests. ... Each team has a criteria they set up that they believe is what's important and what's needed to be competitive. I'm very comfortable with the tests we have set up.".......

But the Browns disputed the Jets' findings. Browns general manager Phil Savage noted that while Suggs has been injury prone, he hasn't missed any practice time this year and played in the first preseason game.

"Medical opinions can vary from team to team, and obviously this is one team's opinion," Savage said. "We anticipate Lee Suggs returning to the Browns and working hard in practice and preparing for the season to the best of his ability, just as he has shown throughout his career with the Browns."........

Well the dudes on CSI can figure TOD to the hour so I think figuring out when an injury occured on a living person is a snap.

Why? If he failed the physical, he'd most likely be put onto one of the reserve lists, adn lose a year of play, and be in the same situation next year.
