You're probably going to be ridiculed by most of the forum on
this one but the idea is not as nutty as it may appear. There
is no way Seymour will re-sign with the Patriots unless he is given
15 million per year with the same guaranteed money as Haynesworth.
If he is franchised, he will simply hold out. One factor would be whether
the pick is early first round.
I don't that think that this is a nutty idea at all. We could then sign Jason Taylor, and use our new first on a DE and still draft a linebacker at 23, and an additional top 100 pick DT. I think that I would like to have a tentative extensioin of Jarvis Green in place (I think that this could be cap neutral).
DL: Warren, Wilfork, Green, 1st rounder or Seymour, Smith, Hood (3rd rounder)
LB: Taylor, Thomas, Mayo, 1st rounder, Guyton, Bruschi, Woods, TBC, Crable
The advantage of the frst rounder instead of Seymour is that the new player would have a 5 year contract and a cap hit in the $2.5M range as Mayo does.
My question is, if GB or Denver were to offer their #2 for him, would you still bite? How much would it take? We could probably get Jarron Gilbert with that pick and groom him to be Seymour's replacement. What about a 2010 #1?
I've always liked that idea, if someone would give us a 1st rounder. There's no doubt Seymour is one of the best 3-4 DE's around, but between age, injuries and contract demands I think the Pats would be open to the right deal. I've always felt that Wilfork and Mankins would resign for reasonable deals but that Seymour was more of a Samuel-like "money first" kind of guy, and might end up being the hardest to resign, with a likely gap between what he thought he was worth and what the FO valued him at.

Seymour for a 1st round pick.
Why trade him this year when we can fanchise and trade him next year? It seems waiting year is like having your cake and getting to eat it too.
Because they may need to franchise someone like Wilfork.
Who in this draft could step right in as a 3-4 DE and play effectively? Seems awfully risky to me.
