The Oakland Raiders have applied the franchise tag to defensive lineman Richard Seymour.

Ron Borges of the Boston Herald is reporting that the Raiders slapped Seymour with the tag -- which comes with an offer of a one-year guaranteed contract worth $12.398 million -- while the team and Seymour continue negotiations on a long-term deal.

Seymour said he would be "happy to stay with the Raiders and be a part of bringing them back to the playoffs."

The Raiders acquired Seymour in a trade with the Patriots just before the start of the 2009 season. Not wanting to lose a player who cost them their 2011 first-round draft pick after just one season, the Raiders were widely expected to put the franchise tag on him if they couldn't sign him to a long-term deal.

That's the only way the Radiers can keep anyone that resembles having talent.

yup, overpaying is their specialty

We had to pay Peppers last year what turned out to be 18 million dollars to keep him. At least Da Raiders have Seymour at a "reasonable" 12 million. Plus this: Seymour said he would be "happy to stay with the Raiders and be a part of bringing them back to the playoffs."

Davis>Hurney in this case.

they have him at a reasonable price but he has only been with the team for less than a year and they had to tag him. I for one dont think he is anywhere close to julius peppers abilities. Richard Seymour learned from Julius Peppers himself not to say bad things about a team that is willing to overpay him. So both fo's are idiots.

It's a bad situation to be in, but the Panthers didn't trade a 1st rounder knowing they would be in that situation in less than a year. Raiders should have worked out a long term deal before making the trade or at the very least talked to him and gauged their ability to work it out in the future.

How old is Seymour? I'm thinking he is getting up there and trading a first rounder for him is absurd in the first place. Oakland should have been able to draft the best available in that position with their usual top 5 pick/ top 10 at least.

naw they will draft another 2nd rounder in the top 10

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
