I read 2011 not 2010.

Who the hell cares about two years from now ... Randy Moss will be two years older by that time.

I know the whole line of thinking ... we want to sign Wilfork, we can't sign Seymour next year so he's basically got just one year left with us ... so why not give up that one year for a future first round pick instead of watching him leave and getting nothing.

Screw that. Win now. This hurts the chances of them going 19-0.

2004 seems like centuries ago. It's over, Johnny.

Still hasnt reported yet. I bet Seymour is trying to work out some kind of extension or signing bonus.

Day 3 of waiting for Godot....Don't put it past Seymour to take a year off. The guy is wired differently than alot of these guys. I realize he could never make up the almost 4 million this would cost him to sit out but he is the only player of the "Camelot" years to get the better of the Patriots at the negotiating table. It wouldn't surprise me if he decided the Patriots were never going to see that draft choice as his response to being traded. This one isn't over yet.

If he doesnt report, the Pats still get the pick. The deal is done regardless of what he does. Players have zero control over their rights in the NFL and Seymours are now property of Oakland.

So what would happen here in 12 months or so when Seymour's contract would be up? I can't believe he would be allowed free agency, assuming there isn't a lock out next year. It seems bizarre that the Pats would get the pick if he never showed up in Oakland...
