Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour
Update on the Richard Seymour situation at 3:35pm
CSNbayarea.com spoke moments ago to Chronicle Live Host and voice of the Oakland Raiders, Greg Papa, to get the latest news on Seymour's status. Papa said the Raiders' position, simply put is: they want the player. Papa also said the Raiders have sent a letter to Seymour saying he had five days upon receipt to report to the Raiders and take a physical. Failure to do so could result in Seymour being placed on the Raiders' roster/suspended. This would mean the Raiders could keep him on the roster/suspended for this season and then retain his rights in 2010 for his 2009 salary. When the Raiders sent the letter is not precisely known, however |

AWESOME. I was really starting to worry that the Seymour talk was starting to fizzle out.

Re: Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour
I hope he refuses to report. That's the much more interesting way for this to go.

Re: Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour
Hopefully this is accurate. I too was starting to wonder if crusty Al pulled a fast one on BB.

Looks like Seymour don't want to go to Oakland. I wonder why... Could it be the team's rep? Naaaah! ;)

Re: Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour
This eliminates the speculation that not reporting for the physical can be construed as failing it. The Raiders have gone on record that he is their property and if he doesnt show in 5 days they deactivate him.

Re: Raiders sent the 5 day letter to Seymour
Common sense would indicate that if they sent the letter they own the player.
You cannot send a letter that will suspend the player for the season and then expect to void the trade. Seymour would not be able to return & play for the Patriots in 2009. The Patriots will not be able play or trade Seymour in 2009. |
