Seymour gets tagged

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

    • I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.
    • I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
