If we are looking to move to a 3-4, Seymour has not signed a contract extension with the Raiders.

At 30, he has plenty of gas left in the tank, and it would certainly make the switch easier.

Maybe he should be our premier FA target.

Watch him re-sign with New England and they still get Oaklands 2011 first round pick, which will probably be top 10 as usual. I still can't believe that. The Bills should make doing a trade with Oakland a top priority every year. Stupid Raiders.

Except he's so p***ed with the Pats he filed a greviance against them, and refused to report to the Raiders until they guaranteed his free-agency in 2010.

I think he'd happily sign for anyone in the AFC East if only to s**t on Belichick twice a year

Where is it written in stone that we're switching? Just because everyone on here wants that doesnt mean it will happen. I guess it will depend on who our coach is, but really, lets not put the cart before the horse here.

Alongside Stroud in a 4-3, we'd be ridiculously difficult to run on.

maybe he's pissed enough to consider Buffalo, like Lawyer did.

He can be a 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE .... it gives a DC loads of options.

Don't think the Pats can afford him, they will have Wilfork to lock up. He will demand a Haynsworth type contract.

Seymour is two years older than Haynesworth and I am not sure he'll get the type of silly money Haynesworth did.

I think $60m over 5 years, with $30m guaranteed will be a figure to turn his head. After all Haynesworth doesn't have 50% of his deal guaranteed.

I hope Wilfork signs with Jaguars for some reason and then his team gets moved to LA and then he gets shot.

I dont really wish that on anyone, not even Wilfork. But I hate the guy more than preeeeetty much anyone in the NFL.

My point was Wilfork will be paid that type of money

If we switch to a 3-4, he would be a nice veteran pickup. However, if we keep the 4-3, I'd actually kind of like to see him lined up at LDE for early running downs and DT for passing downs. I don't know if he's the reason, but Oakland's run defense hasn't exactly been stellar this year.

What makes you think that, out of curiosity?

Nothing worse than having the Pats pick before your own team

his fit at being traded was like someone being dumped by the girl he loves. he'll take her back the moment she calls him this off season.

he won't even think twice.

Raiders plan and always have planned to franchise him.

The Raiders pretty much have to franchise him if he doesn't re-sign. They can't trade him for a 2011 #1 and then have him not even be on the team in 2010.

The Raiders didn't guarantee him anything. He reported because if he didn't he would start to lose money.

Richard is going to sign for top dollar, pure and simple.
