The sixth overall pick in the 2001 draft, Seymour was a mainstay of a Patriots defense that won three Super Bowls. He had eight sacks last season. The deal was first reported by ESPN on Sunday.Article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) WOW... Raiders are [expletive]ing idiots. Pats are geniuses again. They ship out a 30 yr old, whom they really don't even need to win (they won without him during the almost "perfect" season), and will probably get a top 5 pick in the 2011 draft. I have no idea how this trade makes sense for the Raiders. Seymour is a good player, yes. But he's an aging player, on a team that's going nowhere. Wouldn't you rather have a top 5 pick? lmao Al Davis FTL Edited September 6, 2009 by Yung Luv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir Rose Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Terrible trade for the Raiders. They have little to no chance at competing right now, so this move makes zero sense for them. Seymour will most likely show a decline and this will go down as one of the worst trades in recent memory. New England will get a nice piece to continue building their dynasty with.

The Artesticle Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I read that Seymour has 1 year left on his contract (can someone verify?). If that's true than LMAO. I don't see any reason why he'd want to stay in Oakland when his contract is up. If Al Davis traded a top 5 pick away for a 1 year rental, on a team that won't come close to making the playoffs... well actually I wouldn't be surprised at all.

The Great iBoldin Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) I don't know. First reaction says that the Pats got a steal. Second reaction is that maybe Oakland, with Seymour, may not (no, seriously) actually be too bad this year. Seriously. In the future it's a steal for the Pats, though. Seymour is a declining 3-4 defensive end who has two years productivity, max. And, if you review some of New England's games throughout the last two years, Ty Warren has been the better of the two ends, not Seymour. He can still provide the run stopping that Oakland needs, though. I believe they're bringing in Alfonso Boone to take over NT on run downs, giving them a look of: Ellis - Kelly - Boone - Seymour Passing downs would probably look like this: Ellis - Kelly - Seymour - Shaughnessy I think the Pats' win this though. Who knows. Bellichick probably ends up trading the pick. EDIT - I forgot about Trevor Scott. He'll find his way into the rotation.

Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 There's no way this trade makes sense for Oakland. Seymour is a UFA after this season. There's a zero percent chance he comes back, unless we somehow win 8-9 games. Not with Russell as QB. Not with Al Davis coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen in that time frame. Look at Atlanta, look at Miami or even Arizona to some degree. I think it's nonsense to be calling this pick a top-ten selection when we're two years away. I don't think it matters what franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Well, the possibility that Al Davis is still alive in 2011 is pretty high, which means he'll still be coaching the team from the box, which means we'll never win more than seven games. It's the Raiders. Arizona found their franchise player in Fitz. The Falcons have a QB that can potentially be the clear-cut best in the NFL in a few years. All of those teams found a way to do that via draft. The Raiders can't draft (Huff, Russell, DHB). If we knew how to draft franchise players, we'd be better off. McFadden may never be a franchise player. In fact, I thank God we somehow got lucky with Nnamdi Asomugha, but he's not going to make up for our pathetic offensive line, our lack of receivers, and our terrible coaching and ownership.

Owner Real Deal Posted September 6, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 By the way, you can see why I don't discuss much football. I feel like I know the sport quite a bit, but good God, when you hate your owner and you have no faith in your offense, you really don't have much to talk about.

Universe Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Seymour kinda got screwed over by the Pats IMO. He helped them to three SB and then gets traded to the Raiders? I know it's a business but damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nissan Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 1st round pick and Burgess for Seymour, 3rd round pick, and 5th round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Not sure what the Raiders are really doing here. In my eyes, a potential top ten pick is not worth giving up for Seymour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
