RaiderBeat.com Staff Report
Defensive lineman Richard Seymour is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent Mar. 5. If it reaches that point, he said he is interested in playing for any of 31 teams in the NFL.
The Raiders are among those 31 teams on Seymour’s list. The lone team he won’t consider signing with is the one that drafted him in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots.
“There’s probably about 31 teams I’d consider going to,” Seymour said in an interview with Comcast Sports on Tuesday.
As for the Patriots being among those teams, Seymour said: ”That isn’t something I’m looking to do at all. But there’s no ill will. I wish them the best. I really mean that. I think it could have ended in a more respectful way, but that’s just my personal opinion.”
The Patriots traded Seymour to the Raiders for a 2011 first-round draft pick a little more than a week before the 2009 season started. Seymour said he was blindsided by the move and lost respect for coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots for the way they handled the matter.
Seymour joined the Raiders in the final season of his contract. Therefore, he is on the hook for a huge payday. The Raiders have three options: One, they can sign Seymour to a huge contract extension; two, they can place a one-year, franchise tender on him; or they can let him enter free agency.
It’s likely that the Raiders will do one of the first two options. If they can’t reach agreement on a long-term contract, then they most certainly would slap the franchise tag on Seymour, for fear of losing him after only one season at the steep cost of a first-round draft pick.

Another poor deal engineered by Lord Al. I’m shocked..shocked
what the hell Seymour so what are u sayin u aint wanna come to oakland & now u dnt wanna play 4 us no more y the hell is he talkin about other teams 4 his ass got traded 4 a 1st round pick man aint like we need him 4 1 year and he was the last puzzle to win a ring!!!
I think he’s willing to come back as long as he get’s a good payday. But like the blog says the Raiders will most likely sign him because Al Davis liked him enough to be present when he signed him or slpa the tag on him. Either way I’m sure Richard will be back next yr. Follow me on twitter @ RelentlessIV
Ed, you are a dumbass… Seymour said that the only team he does not wanna play for is New England, not Oakland. Usually it helps to read the article before making a comment. Otherwise you just end up looking like a, well, a dumbass. Also, I don’t think it’d hurt you any to go back to grammar school and learn about sentence structure, punctuation, and that “ain’t wanna” doesn’t make a damn bit of sense.
what the hell is a “Jedimunky ” man get a real name b4 u leave a comment homo!!!
and if u read my comment “homo-jedimunky” i was talking about why is he talking about other teams when raiders traded a first round pick 4 him so get off my *ick man damn hate new comers always gotta get put in there place!!!

ok my last comment to homo-jedimunky ok u talk about my grammar and watever else but (”ain’t”) i no u like that word ur name suppose 2 b spell (Jedi Monkey)cause thats the correct spelling when i try 2 google what the hell is a jedi-munky so lil homo munky “b4 u play the game, please warm up first”!!!
off topic 4 a second much Respect to Charles Woodson on bein Defensive player of the year!!!
Ed, go back to school.
Seriously, it will help.
Will the team still be able to franchise a player in 2010 even though there won’t be a salary cap? If I remember correctly the labor contract in void for the 2010 season.
Jedi Munky, go to your room, and mind your business.
Jedi, trust me and will live a more fulfilling life.
God has spoken.
won’t we just franchise his ass?
I can’t think of any other player we’ll franchise besides seymore, if the Raiders know whats good for them.
seriously ed, that was terrible.

seriously ed, that was terrible.
ok i have no idea y you are mentioning my name but since u have raiders in ur name u get a pass so move alone that will be ur last!!!
Jedimunky is a name I came up with years ago when I used to play Counterstrike with a bunch of my friends. One of my friends was Jediviper. Anyways, I have been a lifelong Raider fan. I was a year old when they won their last Super Bowl against Washington. But Ed, notice how I use those little dots at the end of a bunch of words? Those are called periods and the words between periods are called sentences. Notice how some words begin with big letters? That’s called Capitalization. We use that to begin sentences and when using pronouns. I don’t know whether to thank you or slap you for your poor lesson in ebonics…
is there any 1 thats sign up 4 raiderbeat thats still in there 20’s that have some youth in them to no when ” a person text or write comments they wont spell everthin correctly example…..

ok well i hope they was some female friends cause (counterstrike) sounds mad homo dude!!!
This Edmazeing09 guy needs to sit down he’s dumb i don’t understand what the hell he is talking about GOD!!!
I am 26 and married with kids, dude. I still think you’re a retard. I text a ton and I don’t abbreviate everything I text because I think it’s retarding us. No wonder we have so many people flunking out of junior high and high school….
And yes, a lot of girls did play that game. I didn’t play for very long cause I got bored….
I mean, it obviously retarded you, Ed…..
ok didt need to no all ur info and mayb reason ppl are dropin out or “flunkin out” because mayb they need 2 get a job 2 help support there family man u no ever 1 now born with (black &) silver spoon…….p.s 4 some reason ever body think they ass is so tuff behind a computer!!!
*** not born with a silver spoon meant to say***.. and i cant keep tryin 2 type to fake tuff guys & play madden at the same time so anything u have 2 say leave a comment & i will get back later!!!
Wow!
Ed- it’s cool if you want to abbreviations for texting your comments but I truly hope you don’t really feel that way about grammar and spelling. If you do, you’re destined to be serving burgers through a little window next to Jamarcus in a couple of years.
Regarding the actual article, there is no way Davis gets only one year from Seymour. If no deal can be reached, he will get franchised. Only two people on the roster eligible for free agency that I think could get franchised. Seymour and dare I say Janikowski. So my guess is Seymour gets it worst case scenario.
See, we all miss sometimes. I meant, want to use abbreviations…
Jedi, why are you listening to that guy, he can’t even put sentences together……Its obvious he didn’t read or listen to what Seymour was talking about. Seymour was asked an idiotic question he got bored, rolled his eyes and answered that the Patsies are the only team he would not play for. He wants to now be compensated for his play and will go to the highest bidder, but he knows if he doesn’t sign long term with the Raiders he will be franchised. He will not let them know if he wants to play for them. But when he does sign, he will be a professional. Jedi, don’t listen to idiots whose big come back is call you a HOmo. That is so ignorant and shows his parents had no clue in upbringing. Probably inbred or something like that. Sign Seymour longterm and get free agent Vince Wilfork his teammate to come play here. they could be great………

ok RUssell is worth $66milli at wat 24 or 25 years old….now when ur ass was that age let me guess u was still at home dnt lie just think back 30 or 40 years ago when u was Russell age how much was u worth!!!!
never seen so many haters in my life….what type of men cares or worry about what another man writes or says write about what the topic says & move on ppl GOD…..im off ill get at any more haters later!!!
Poor Ed. I wasn’t even picking on you just pointing out that you need to be more serious about your education. But since you felt it necessary to comment back I will let you in on something.
Here’s the problem with your logic my friend. You are apparently Jamarcus’ age maybe a little younger. You are at home playing Madden and reading this message board. I will guess that you are not athletically talented enough to become a #1 pick in the NFL draft.
That means the only common denominator (it’s okay, i’ll wait, go look it up) between you and Jamarcus is your inability to comprehend the english language. You will never see the type of money he makes. I’m guessing the only person that finds you amazing is yourself. Unfortunately calling yourself EdMazing on a message board doesn’t make you amazing. The only thing you continue to accomplish is show the world that you are immature and illiterate. Kudos to you buddy.
WOW ok Miss.Jon i don’t have time 2 read all your BullIsh*t…..but you havin the time 2 write all of that…. shows me you have alot of time 2 blow, and everthing you said can be said about your self 4 real just read ur lil story…and PS3 & online is my down time buddy get it right…and 1 last thing when did writein comments become same as fillin out a JOB Appt….far as spellin & word play & jon EDMAZEING is the name ur wifey gave me!!!
I think EdMazeing is really JaMarcus Russell. I mean look they both speak english like it’s their second language.
I love it when someone has to resort to calling someone a homo or saying something about someone’s wife. Ed you forgot to say something about their mom. Speaking of moms when your mom leaves my house she said she’s going to ground you and take away your internet if you don’t behave.

Ha Ha so funny….me nor Russell aint got time 4 a comment joker wanna Be….and the topic is a day old so get up from under the rock LLLLLLLLLLLLLOSER GOD!!!
GOD Bless ever family in Haiti I just seen some of the Graphic pictures of the EarthQuake aftermath i am speechless!!!
from 1% of RAIDERNation ill pray for ever 1 over there that lost there life.
Unless he gets the franchise tag, Seymour will sign with Kansas City (Patriots West). The Chiefs just signed Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss as Defensive and Offensive coordinators respectively. I’m not even sure there will be such a thing as a “franchise tag” in 2010 due to the CBA no longer being in place.
