kvarlo12000 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Who on our roster can we trade for the Raiders 2010 first round pick? Seriously, there's got to be some way to get a piece of this.Perhaps this will help the Raiders for this year, but for a first rounder? Dumb move, especially since Seymour is entering the twilight of his career. Justin Tryon. I hear he is fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I can see why the Raider fans are excited. Would you rather have Richard Seymour for one season or the classic Al Davis 1st round pick (huge reach on the man with the fastest 40 time)?

Going Commando Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This is an odd trade. It pretty much confirms what I thought was coming--that the Patriots weren't going to be able to re-sign Seymour and it's a genius move to get a freaking (probably high) first round pick for a guy they were going to let walk anyway. God damn them. It also fits perfectly with a window where they can draft Tom Brady's heir and have him sit and learn for a season or two while Brady approaches retirement. Such a good move on their part. Now I hope Ron Brace sucks so at least some part of this deal will bite them in the ass. If we could take the cap hit, we should follow the Patriots' lead and consider trading Andre Carter for a future pick. He'll become redundant fairly soon. Maybe after this season?

Going Commando Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 This is a very interesting trade on many levels:1) if you were gearing up for another Super Bowl run, why not keep a solid, valuable veteran DE? Even if you only have that player for one more year, 'you play to win the game' now! This runs counter to so much of Belichik's past history. 2) Kraft is one of the most important and influential owners in the NFL. Is this a signal that the NFL expects to negotiate a new CBA and avoid a work stoppage next year? 3) Following up 2), above, why trade for a 2011 draft pick if you doubt that there will be a CBA in place for that season? There is a labor/management message here. HTTR :helmet: I agree. All along I've thought that the owners and players would get a new CBA done. There is just too much money to be lost if they have to lockout in 2011. No one wants that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enter Apotheosis Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Well they pretty much just got a Top 10 pick next season! It's a 2011 draft pick. It will almost certainly still be high, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 It's a 2011 draft pick. It will almost certainly still be high, though. That is if the pick still exists. If a CBA isn't in place by 2011, there will be no NFL draft. In a sense, this could actually mean the Raiders pretty much got him for free since the possibility of no CBA by 2011 really exists.

Well, amigo, you "fixed" yourself into a week off---and since you were previously warned and were given a break by NOT getting a week off for a very similar matter, hopefully you will not have to keep learning this lesson about acceptable content in this forum.

Fred Jones Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Soooo...did Seymour sleep with Mrs. Kraft? I mean...what does one do to deserve that fate... Looking at it from this angle that is true. Seymour was probably demanding big money so the Pats sent him off the NFL's version of a nightmare. Maybe we could do that with our holdouts in the future. Just tell them to accept the money or we will trade you to the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Shouldn't the Commish step in and void this for the good of football like Bowie Kuhn did with the Oakland A's or the NBA commish did with the Cleveland Cavaliers when Stepien gave away first rounders for garbage annually back in the day when their owners were making idiotic moves?

flexxskins Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 One of these days a Raiders fan is going to weigh his/hers options and make the decision that watching the Raiders from a mental facility might just be worth assassinating Davis. Keep in mind that I am in no way condoning violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
