After what was seemingly a year-long (or 1 week) holdout, Richard Seymour will be reporting to the Oakland Raiders just in time to hopefully in Monday Night’s opener – right after watching his old team on Monday Night Football.
According to Adam Schefter, (via @adam_schefter) Seymour will receive no promises to renegotiate his contract or not place the franchise tag on him next year.
Seymour, the former Patriot All-Pro, had been sent a “5-day letter”, forcing him to report within five days or risk having to sit out the entire 2009 NFL season.
The Patriots will receive a 2011 1st Round Draft Pick in exchange for Richard Seymour. Check out the list of 2011 Patriots Draft Picks here.

With another underwhelming coming, the Raiders’ 1st round pick could very well be top 6. Increasing injuries and psych issues looming on the horizon, this is a good move by the Pats.
That is true… we will be happy about in April/May of 2011 though.
