C'mon Richard, you always treated it like a business, never gave the Pats a discount, even told people it was your last year. You cant be heart broken now that your as a Pat is really over..can you?
If it's a business and he doesn't want to report to the new site, why should he do it just because others want him to?
After all, it's a business.
If they can undo the trade, we get the player back. Personally I like the trade and hope it does through - if not Seymour is back on the DL and that's fine with me too.

Exactly. He can choose to retire from the NFL. It's his choice and his right.
The chances of that happening are zero.
The NFL Offices would never allow that. It would be suicide for the league to set that precedent of a player vetoing a trade and choosing his team while he is under his current contract.
That would turn it into the fiasco (competition-wise) known as Major League Baseball.
Actually, he can just not show up. The Raiders will void the deal rather than putting him on the NFI list, and he'll revert back to the Patriots.
No need to retire.

Patriots don't have to take him back.
They won't (unless he signs a very Patriot-friendly new contract).
This is the NFL, not MLB where the inmates are in charge of the asylum.
The league can't have the precedent set. Once again, it would be an outbreak of Selig-Steinbrenner-itis.
The NFL is a different business than Major League Baseball.
The Green Bay market can compete with the NY Giants market in the NFL.
Goodell knows that and watches with bemused horror at the competitive imbalance of baseball.
Seymour has a contract. The Patriots would have no choice.
What happens right now if, say, a trade is made but the player decides to retire? Does the team trading the player lose the pick they got? I suppose Seymour could screw the Pats by retiring, and then they're out both Seymour and the pick, but then Seymour's also out of a lucrative career.
