Report: Raiders reach deal with Seymour
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, February 16th, 2011 at 8:16 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders have reached a two-year deal with defensive tackle Richard Seymour which pays him a guaranteed $22.5 million over the next two years, according to Sports Illustrated’s Jim Trotter.
Seymour would receive $15 million over each of the next two years _ approximately the value of his franchise figure times two _ and get a $7.5 million bonus.
(Update: The NFL Network is reporting via Jason LaCanfora it is a “multi-year” deal and does not give bonus or salary figures).
The Pro Bowl defensive tackle has maintained in public he wanted to remain a Raider, and at these numbers, this deal serves as validation. Hard to believe he couldn’t have received more on the open market.
For the Raiders, it’s a terrific deal. Now they can franchise tight end Zach Miller to make sure he doesn’t hit the open market and also don’t commit multiple years for a defensive lineman who is an 11-year veteran and may not have multiple seasons of peak play.
In other news regarding potential free agents, FoxSports.com reports the Raiders have a $3.5 million buyback option on the contract of linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, meaning it is within their power to retain his services. Wimbley’s original contract included a void after this season. According to the report, the Raiders would like to reach a longterm deal with Wimbley once a collective bargaining agreement is reached.

Good job AL
February 16th, 2011 at 8:29 am
Now, its Miller time. Get it done coach Davis.
February 16th, 2011 at 8:29 am
Only a two year deal for Richard!!!
What a great signing!!! Than after these two years, his market value will more than likely decrease, and we can re-up him even cheaper.
Wow is about all I can say. Only two years at $22.5 to keep Richard around, but a few years ago we had to keep TK around with $50 million, lol.
Kudo’s to Danny Southwick, Sanjay Lal and John Herrera….otherwise known as the Raiders front office.

Wow, Al getting much better at drafting and signing free agents for market price. He’ll tag Zach, get Huff Bush Routt and Nnamdi at a good rate. Will Hue convince Al to sign Chad Johnson or will Al sign TO who’s been a much better citizen of late?
February 16th, 2011 at 9:03 am
bring on the al davis haters…..
February 16th, 2011 at 9:04 am
Danny knew that the key to signing Seymour was keeping Waufle (and cutting Condo). Marshall and Cable were irrelevant.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:05 am
You know, when I look at this signing what really stands out to me is how much we really need a GM here.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:06 am
Seymour never wanted to have to face McFadden in a real game.
Fear of McFadden made this deal happen.
Hey, that rhymes.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:06 am
Seymour’s got pride. Guessing he likes Waufle and the direction of the defense. Wants to turn it around in Oakland.
Good job, Al.
Wimbley’s not going anywhere, Seymour stays put, Miller as well, even though a long-term deal is best considering his increased value after the break-out year he’s sure to have.
Cartwright is a big re-sign, IMO. Should get that done.
Bush may come at a discounted price, but likely first time-offender wouldn’t scare off too many teams (especially with no games missed).
Huff will stay if Nnamdi stays, IMO.
Gallery would be nice to bring back, depending on what we do at O Line, which is the biggest mystery right now, I think.

LOL Dakota. Thats same reason Artest begged to join Kobe…can’t beat em.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:12 am
Great work.
Seymour, Wimbley, and Miller are the top three priorities for the Raiders outside of Nnamdi, and to have the option of getting them all back into the fold this early in the game is huge.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:14 am
Seymour signs extension, Miller and it looks like Wimbley aren’t going anywhere for now. Add that to Rod Woodson’s hiring and it’s been a pretty sweet couple of days for Raider Nation!
February 16th, 2011 at 9:16 am
SI says two year deal, LaCanfora says he’s hearing it’s four.
I wonder if it’s a four year deal, but the vast majority of the cash is packed into those first two years.

February 16th, 2011 at 9:22 am
So something about defensive scheme/philosophy/direction/coaching must have played a part in this.
Could this be the season that we return to real football?

J will disagree, but Miller is that good. Injury-plagued season this year, but all Zach needs is to have someone get the ball in his hands.
He dominated the Texans game. Career high 11 catches. Zach should get the rock minimum 5 times a game.
He’ll shine and I know Campbell will make it a priority to get him the ball more.

+++++++++++++++
Yeah, no biggie. He’s just the team’s leading receiver the last 3 years and the one guy you can depend on to actually catch a ball the majority of the time it’s thrown his way. The Raiders don’t need that.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Zach had 800+ yards with JaMarcus Russell throwing him the ball. Imagine what he could do with capable QB play.
February 16th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Funny how as soon as Woodson comes aboard we sign Seymour and still don’t have a DC. Must be something brewing in Alameda.

====================================================
Davy Jones Says:
February 10th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
So “league sources” said that Seymour would get the tag, then (other?) “league sources” say that Miller gets the tag.
IMO, the only way Seymour isn’t the tag recipient is if he is signed to a long term deal.
An optimist might think that the rumors about tagging Miller mean that Oakland is nearing a deal with Seymour.
======================================================
I guess you don’t have to hate Al Davis to know something about how the NFL works . . .

February 16th, 2011 at 10:01 am
Interesting. I was under the assumption that signing FAs was not an option without a CBA in place.
Al just “f%ck it” and did it anyway. (He can always say that Seymour is an assistant D-line coach, which in fact he is.)

“When I find this guy BSJackson I gonna stick his head up Adam Treu’s ass”
February 16th, 2011 at 10:02 am
Yeah that the way to keep the Pro Bowl anchor and leader of defense line and whole defense in town for 2 more years. Very important signing!
Good to hear Wimbley will be sticking around also for the foreseeable future. They need him to be on this team also.
Now Miller will probably be tagged and now all they need to do is resign Huff Dadddy.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:03 am
You can re-sign your own players, I believe. Teams have been doing it all season.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:06 am
There was no way Al was going to let Seymour walk. Too much pride at stake there. The press would roast him for the trade.
I sincerely hope this convinces Nnamdi to come back to us. Make it happen Crazy Al.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:07 am
“You want to cut one of the most consistent players on the roster that does his job everytime he is in th game”

Thats the point Mr. SuicideRaider (tough nic BTW, little man). Condo gets 2.5mil and a precious spot on the 53 for about 40 seconds of PT each Sunday. Can’t do ANYTHING else. Let Myers, Williams, Goethel or any of the other real players learn this basic fkin job.

Long snapping is one of the most crucial elements in the game. Seriously, why would you want to take a chance on letting someone else “try” to do a job he has done very well. Do you honestly think that another longsnapper is going to hustle downfield to make a tackle everytime he is on the field. How long is our punter or placekicker on the field for that matter. The same “40″ seconds. Let someone else come in and mess up a crucial snap and see what you think at that point.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:27 am
Bo,
Do you know the difference between a law and a proposed bill?
Maybe this will help….it is on the federal level, but is a very similar process in states with bicameral legislatures:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEJL2Uuv-oQ
February 16th, 2011 at 10:28 am
there is absolutely no way that any #17 draft pick would step in and dominate both on the field and in the locker room as Seymour does. an excellent trade, yes.
there is no way that any CB coach could come in and be better equipped to communicate the position’s needs and nuances than RWood.
quite a coupla days in Raiderland.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:36 am

and voila! ya git yerself a frittata of nonsense in the legislature.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:37 am
Yes, my mistake Dakota. I had read the bill was likely to pass but now see that the language will be changed to hide its inherently un-American intent.
February 16th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Oh, and it is not a “proposed bill”. It is an actual bill.

I’m hoping for Winston Moss.
“This is a very special time for me right now. Even after I left the Raiders, I always wished them well if we were not playing against them … I want to help them win as many games as they could. As a former player, having a chance to come up and lead a football team as a head coach or in whatever capacity Mr. Davis feels would help the team, I’d be interested.”
Now, granted he said that in January of 09, back when he was the LB coach of the Packers and not the LB coach of the SB Champion Packers. But he did say “in whatever capacity”.
Also, Jerry McDonald wrote “The stone silence out of Green Bay regarding Winston Moss could mean he is still in play, because there have been no denials of interest or declarations that he’ll stay with the Packers.”
I think that is cause for hope.
But after saying all that, what I really think is that the haters are right this time. The DC will be Bresh. Beikert and Woodson and Brehsnahn = reconstructing the 2002 Defense.
Won’t be so bad, but I’d prefer Moss

If there is one thing that AD is still great at it’s resigning top talented players like Asomugha, SeaBass & Lechler at the same time, now Seymour and soon Wimbly. Who knows, Nnamdi may still end up as a Raider. AD is still very good at keeping the players he wants. That bodes well for us.

Reserve safety Stevie Brown was a “revelation” as a rookie seventh-round pick, according to beat writer Paul Gutierrez.
The No. 251 overall pick showed a penchant for making plays in 15 games, starting one. Brown recorded 30 tackles with two passes defensed, mostly in substitution packages. His emergence could push veteran Hiram Eugene off the roster.

mpending free agent FS Michael Huff has stated a desire to re-sign with the Raiders.
Then-coach Tom Cable stated last offseason that Huff had finally arrived, and he responded with his best season to date. In addition to a career-best 94 tackles, Huff added a career-high four sacks, four QB hurries, three INTs, three forced fumbles, and seven passes defensed while exceeding expectations in coverage. The Raiders will have competition for his services if he makes it to the open market.

Michael Mitchell had a “breakthrough season” as a strong safety/nickelback, according to CSN Bay Area’s Paul Gutierrez.
Mitchell more than tripled his tackles from 16 to 51, adding six passes defensed. He’s also credited with playing quality pass defense against tight ends. Seen as a project when he entered the league, Mitchell’s improvement is a promising sign that he could develop into a starter.

The attorney for Michael Bush maintains the running back was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest last Saturday morning.
Bush blew a .11 at Clark County jail, but the lawyer claims his blood alcohol content was an under-the-limit .07 at the time of his arrest. If that’s true, Bush would have a stronger than expected case as he fights the charge. Bush is scheduled to be back in court next week.

SI.com’s Jim Trotter reports the Raiders have agreed to terms with DL Richard Seymour on a two-year, $30 million contract.
NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora is hearing it may actually be a four-year contract. The deal includes $22.5 million in guarantees with a $7.5 million guaranteed bonus in 2012. The Raiders jumped to 47 sacks in 2010, second in the NFL, with Seymour playing at a Pro Bowl level. The new deal will take the 10-year veteran through his age-33 season. It was important for Oakland to bring Seymour back after dealing a first-round pick for him two years ago. The signing also paves the way for the Raiders to use the franchise tag on Zach Miller.

My #92 Jersey is still relevant & now appears to have been an excellent investment.
When I think of Seymour the immediate picture thast comes to mind is his straight arm shot to Rothlisberger’s facemask thereby planting him on his ass. It was truly a crisp shot, a reaction actually to Rothlisberger’s taunting Big Rich. Too bad he was ejected as that really did hurt us. Nonetheless, it was the shot that was heard across the league. Seymour was merely pointing out that he was he new sheriff on the Raider D-line.
DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER, DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER, DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER.
A new toughness has become part of the NEW Raider organization. It very much reminds me of the old days of the silver & black.

My #92 Jersey is still relevant & now appears to have been an excellent investment.
When I think of Seymour the immediate picture thast comes to mind is his straight arm shot to Rothlisberger’s facemask thereby planting him on his ass. It was truly a crisp shot, a reaction actually to Rothlisberger’s taunting Big Rich. Too bad he was ejected as that really did hurt us. Nonetheless, it was the shot that was heard across the league. Seymour was merely pointing out that he was he new sheriff on the Raider D-line.
DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER, DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER, DOWN GOES ROTHLISBERGER.
A new toughness has become part of the NEW Raider organization. It very much reminds me of the old days of the silver & black.

Free agent WR Jerry Porter has signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL.
Porter hasn’t played in the NFL since bottoming out as a free agent bust with the Jaguars in 2008. Turning 32 in July, Porter’s NFL career is likely finished.

Free agent Champ Bailey has put his Colorado home up for sale, just after it was reported Bailey had renewed contract talks with the Broncos.
So much for that. “I am putting my Littleton, (CO) house up for sale,” Bailey confirmed to Inside the NFL’s Josina Anderson. It’s an indication that Bailey doesn’t plan to play for the Broncos in 2011. The team is not believed to be considering using the franchise tag

Reserve safety Stevie Brown was a “revelation” as a rookie seventh-round pick, according to beat writer Paul Gutierrez.
The No. 251 overall pick showed a penchant for making plays in 15 games, starting one. Brown recorded 30 tackles with two passes defensed, mostly in substitution packages. His emergence could push veteran Hiram Eugene off the roster.

Although Stroud did nothing to improve a Buffalo run defense that was actually worse than ours the last few years. But he clearly wasnt a good fit with their 3-4. Also expect them to release Aaron Maybin soon as well.

$15 million per season for Richard Seymour is EXPENSIVE.
this run defense finished 31st & 29th the past 2 years with him in there and he wasn’t exactly a sack machine either. takes a lot of plays off
hopefully he can teach the young guys a few things before it’s time to ride off into the sunset … ShoNasty, Houston, Kelly & Bryant have their mentor
milk that cow for all it’s worth boys!

(Damn, I still remember those 5 yard returns)
February 16th, 2011 at 11:46 am
Glad to have Seymour back, but $30 million over 2 years is way too much for a guy who will turn 32 next season and faded badly down the stretch.
He was great for the first half of the season, but got handled against Miami and Pittsburgh and really never recovered.
No other team would have paid nearly this much for Seymour. It’s like Nnamdi’s last deal — way outside the market.
I hope I’m wrong, but I think Big Al will regret this one. I guess he had to keep Seymour because the Pats haven’t even used the first-round pick yet.
Forget bringing Nnamdi back. Davis can’t pay two guys like this. I’d rather have Nnamdi, who is in his prime.
February 16th, 2011 at 11:48 am
Why pay Seymour $15 million this year, when you can tag him and pay him $7 million?
Zach Miller is a RESTRICTED free agent, according to Jhill – so you don’t have to tag him. you tender him at the highest possible level (2 first rounders?) but can negotiate down if other teams express interest

I think the Raiders need Big Rich this year, I think he’s crucial to the dominant mix on the D-Line.

It doesnt matter if we tagged him as a punter… you are missing the part where the franchise tag says its the average of the top 5 OR 120% of last years salary whichever is greater. He would get 120% of last years salary no matter what!
Look at Peyton Manning. The franchise tag for QB is 16.05 million, Peytons franchise tag is 23.39 million because its 120% of last years salary.

Cromartie would be better than DeAngelo Hall in man coverage, that’s for sure. And at least as good as Stanford Routt. But he’s still allergic to tackling and has attitude problems. Not sure how I’d feel about the Raiders signing him. Lord knows how he’s going to perform after getting a new deal.
He’s definitely not a replacement for Asomugha, that’s for sure.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:29 pm
I’d just be hesitant to give Champ Bailey the kind of deal he’s obviously looking for when the guy is on the wrong side of 32.
February 16th, 2011 at 12:31 pm
With any luck, the Bengals won’t franchise Jonathan Joseph and Al Davis can go get him.
Assuming Nnamdi walks, that is. Which after today is looking pretty likely unless he’s willing to come back for $12-13 million.

I think the Broncos tried to give Champ a deal where they could cut their ties after next year and not be on the hook for a huge chunk of his salary, and he turned them down. Word is he’s looking for more security than that.
Broncos play a fair amount of zone, too. Not sure how Champ would hold up if the Raiders are still playing in man-to-man 90% of the time next season.

He isnt getting more than that anywhere else. 13 million would be high. Revis is still considered the better QB and he was only able to get 11 mill.

As far as FA CBs, I like Joseph, Marshall, and Wright in that order.
Wright has been inconsistent so far in his career, but if either Routt or Asomugha walk it couldn’t hurt to bring him in on the cheap, especially if the Raiders have no better options in the draft.

+++++++++++++
I don’t know what they will call it under the new CBA, but I damn well know players are not going to be free agents after only 4 years. So I think Jhill is right.
Although….if there is some sort of rookie wage cap, then I think the teams might allow free agency after only 4 years as a carrot to get that deal done. 4 years would give the team an idea if the player is a bust or a decent player. But I doubt it would be retroactive to players who have already bebefited from the prior rookie wage system like Miller.

It was an analogy to show you the stupidity of saying that because the Raiders have sucked in the past they can not possibly improve. You have the IQ of a 7 year old if you think I meant that literally.

Is Rod Woodson the new DC, or just a big-name rookie to cover for the fact there’s no DC?
February 16th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
Al Davis is obviously the DC this year. So he can horn it on Jackson/Saunder success on offense.

The latter, obviously. Could be Woodson was brought in to help upgrade play at safety AND to entice Asomugha to hang around for someone HE considers as his mentor. In either case, I believe it to be a good thing to have high character quality individuals associated with he team. It’s also a good thing to keep past veterans associated with the team around to help keep the old mystique alive.

Woodson is not coaching safeties. He is here to improve playmaking from our corners. Our $$ per pick ratio is not favorable.
And the only tag Condo deserves is a for sale cheap tag. That turtle would rock!

February 16th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
We can all hope that Chucky B is NOT the DC by default. He’s a downgrade from Marshall. I guess we are just going to have to wait and see. Knowing AD’s attitude regarding coaches, he’s probably more focused on getting key players signed before worrying about a defensive coordinator’s position.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Dutch,
I dunno but Treu proved it can be done flawlessly. Have kickoffs, punts and FGs changed much since 2003?
I bet those other teams longsnappers can actually play somewhere else, at least in preseason. Being listed as LS doesn’t mean all are STRICTLY a LS. Like the turd Jon.

Adam Treu was a terrible center. His poor play contributed significantly to our loss in the SB. Granted, the real blame was on Barrett Robbins who went 5150 but in the end, Treu might as well have not been there if you consider his level of play.

Bo,
They took down the depth chart, but do you know who the Raiders listed as the backup long snapper was? Zach Miller!
I am not disagreeing with you, but there was a time in the NFL when a punter/Kicker could play another postion, now they do not. I was just wondering if anybody knew of a team’s long snapper who actually saw the field in other duties?

@Dakota,
(Reuters) – South Dakota will debate a proposed law on Tuesday that supporters say would protect pregnant women from attack and critics fear could legalize the killing of abortion providers in the state.
The bill, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, was introduced in late January by Phil Jensen, a Republican legislator from Rapid City.
If passed, it would provide protection to a family member who kills “in the lawful defense of … his or her husband, wife, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant, or the unborn child of any such enumerated person” by defining the killing as a justifiable homicide.

+++++++++
Hadn’t really thought about it. I guess I wouldn’t mind having him as the NT with Kelly playing the three tech and Seymour at LDE on normal running downs. Then moving Seymour inside on obvious passing situations.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Dutch,
Sure kickers used to play other positions… in the 60s. I bet you a shot and a beer that no other LS (who can’t play anywhere else) makes over 1M. Condo gets 2.5M.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:40 pm
Shaun Rogers= fat lard. I’d still sign him though.
February 16th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Just found out Condo is related to Al Davis hence the large contract for a LS.

Raiders WIN in the trade for Seymour and the 17th pick overall in this years draft!
Seymour is far more valuable OVERALL for the 4-5 years total he would have been with Raiders than any #17 draft pick would have been in this years relatively weak draft class.

Gotta love PFT:
Nnamdi Asomugha just got even tougher to sign
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 16, 2011, 4:04 PM EST
During Al Davis’ recent epic press conference, he explained the difficulties in retaining cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
For the $17 million the Raiders paid Asomugha in 2010, Davis explained, the team could sign 2-3 quality players. Makes sense. So what does Davis do in his first huge post Hue Jackson move of the offseason?
He hands Richard Seymour a possible $30 million over the next two years, including $22 million guaranteed. On a per-year basis, Seymour just became the highest paid defensive player in the league.
The Raiders were undoubtedly in a tough spot and the franchise tag can now be used on Zach Miller. But they still overpaid. We don’t think Seymour gets that type of money at this stage in his career. He’s been very good the last two years, but only occasionally dominating. He turns 32 years old this year. That money is for a MVP-caliber player in his prime.
We mentioned this morning how difficult it will be to keep cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. It just got a lot tougher.
This move could be a tacit admission the Raiders felt it was unlikely to keep Asomugha because Seymour isn’t going to be the highest paid defensive player in the league for long.

Is it possible that Nnamdi is more willing to stay knowing that we locked up Big Sey for a couple of years?
Greggie seems to know there will be a salary cap and what it will be.
February 16th, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Funny to watch all the PFT Sheep commenting Davis is at it again, crypt keeper, etc.
This is a good move for the Raiders.
We know they wanted to keep Seymour long term AND hopefully hang on to Nnamdi, who can’t be franchised.
Now they can pitch Nnamdi, keep Seymour AND use the tag on Miller, if need be.
