There apparently were some talks about a contract extension for DE Richard Seymour during the season, but the Raiders were unable to get close to serious negotiations, and observers in Oakland say it's clear that Seymour wants to play for a different team in 2010. He's said to be very aware that he'll receive the franchise tag this offseason if no long-term deal is worked out. Source: Pro Football Weekly
That didn't take long... only a full season in Oakland convinced him that he didn't REALLY want to be there after all.
Richie... look around... everyone of your teammates wants out of Oakland except for Jafatass, and that's only because he knows he won't get that paycheck from anyone else. Life sucks. Deal wit' it.
I would leave ...no players want to go there and play if MR.BURNS (Al Davis) keeps making horrible decisions on personnel and coaches.
