Seymour to Report on Saturday...Ready for Monday's game???? - New England Patriots Forums

***DaBruinz*** · 09-11-2009, 11:42 PM

Schefter sent out tweets about 10 min ago. Oakland and Seymour are finalizing the plans for Seymour to be in Oakland Saturday or Sunday. Seymour would be available for the game Monday against the Chargers. Seymour did NOT get a contract extension and the Raiders refused to guarantee that they wouldn't Franchise Seymour next season.

Looks like this drama will finally end soon. Thank goodness. We can finally focus on the Pats and the season opener.

How can he play on a defense when he knows none of their playbook or calls...or names. One of his more astute future teamates was mulling this a couple of days ago...

Well the letter must have gotten his attention. Either that or Rodney told him to man up.

Boring, anti-climactic ending. He should have held out. It would have been much more interesting to follow.

I hadn't even thought about Oakland franchising Seymour. Two years as a Raider is a lot tougher to endure than just one.

Sorry about that Richard, my condolences.

A defensive linemen has very simple responsibilities. Defend the A gap or the B gap, etc... His teammates can easily explain whenever a stunt or other type of play call is in place. He's a veteran, there isn't too much he hasn't done before.

You're starting to sound like a mediot...all they ever really care about is the storyline...

If he just goes ahead and plays mg may have to be medicated.

The good thing about the franchise tag is that it will be a very high number for him. He can skip the first part of the season, come in just in time to gain his year of service and sign that tender, play about 6 games for a whole lot of money, and then rinse, lather, repeat.
