Raiders get Richard Seymour?

[MTK]

Can't make decisions in this league based on loyalty. Seymour is on the last year of his contract, and for the Pats to get a first rounder for a guy about to hit 30 and they had no intentions of giving a big money deal to is simply smart business.

Please understand if I was NE i'd make that trade too. I was just saying when you've been in the league for awhile i'm not mad when it's contract time and you want alot more.

I guess so. The guy was coming off a good year. 30 years old doesn't mean you can't play anymore. But what is it with Robert Kraft? He seriously doesn't want to pay anyone.

I don't think this has anything to do with Kraft, just Darth Hoody wanting to prove that he can win with or without anyone. He already proved that he can win without Tom Brady and now he's going to try to prove that he can win with a skeleton defense (no Seymour, Vrabel, Bruschi, etc., etc.)

The NFL is also a professional league and that's the one thing I wish Goodell would get on the Dark Hooded One about...however Belichick has immunity by way of those three SB rings and the whinny Boston media, so until he royally screws up, he can continue to be the a$$hole that he is.

But then again let's remember that the following year he lost his starting QB and missed the playoffs despite winning 11 games, which I am sure pissed him off.

Not sure about not wanting to pay anyone, it's more about not wanting to pay everyone. They have a few other key FA's coming due and then there's Brady who's due for a mega deal soon.
