Report: Patriots trade Seymour to Raiders

[Jensen]

It must really suck to be a part of Raider nation, knowing that your ballclub can't progress until Al steps down, (which is unlikely), or until he simply drops dead :/

[PantherBoy95]

Well At the Time Randy Moss wasn't doing so well so he only seemed to be worth about a 2nd at the least third round pick...

Fourth Rounder...Nah...even a proven vet on his downswing is better than a fourth stringer who you'll have to wait to pan out.

[Miaoww]

Imagine on the eve of the season being traded from the Patriots to the Raiders.

Long walk off a short pier anyone?

Cold NE for California...

Anyone seen the Raiders message boards? Half of them are convinced this makes them a playoff team. They refuse to acknowledge that they likely gave away a 1st round pick for a 1 year rental. They also don't appear to be able to understand that Seymour may not be real happy being traded from the Patriots to the Raiders. I'd like someone to put me out of my misery If I ever become this delusional please.

[Mr. Scot]

Why would NE trade him? I thought he was one of the better 3-4 DEs in the business, would be a pretty darn good pass rushing DT as well...

I'd read talk that they wanted to part ways with Seymour a while back. Nobody bought it at the time, but now, here ya go.

Not sure I'd have given a first rounder for him at this point, but it's the Raiders

And given that it's the Raiders, it'll likely be a high first rounder.

Raiders should be banned from trading. Moss for a 4 or 5th...can't recall. Give away a 1st.

They are the Corky of the NFL.

Seymour will play for the Black and Silver:

"There are a lot of different emotions," Seymour told Borges. "Football was not my main concern at that point."

The trade was a major shock to Seymour's family system. Deciding how his his wife, four children and a 15-year-old cousin to whom he is guardian would proceed seems to have been a major factor in delaying his arrival in Oakland.

"When you get blindsided, you should take a moment to gather your thoughts," Seymour said. "I have a lot of personal issues more pressing than football."

Seymour acknowledged negotiations about his future with the Raiders have taken place but said he "didn't demand anything to go there."

"I've had discussions with the Raiders ... I'm excited and happy with the way they're looking at me," he said.

He said he plans on playing Monday night against the Chargers and added that, "I'll be the guy on top of the quarterback."

Al Davis must be in league with the Kraft family. The Patriots basically have two sources to get talent, their own and the Raiders.

Al Davis is joke.

He said he plans on playing Monday night against the Chargers and added that, "I'll be the guy on top of the quarterback."

Two sacks in the first half and the Raiders are looking pretty good so far.
