The Raiders have to work out a deal with defensive lineman Richard Seymour whom they traded a 2011 first-round pick to New England for before last season. If Oakland cannot sign Seymour to a long-term deal by Feb. 25, the team is expected to use the franchise tag to keep him for next season. Seymour, a five-time Pro Bowler, would be guaranteed $12,398,000 with a franchise tag. Source: CBS Sports
LOL and a lot fries to go with that burger. I don't mind seeing proven players getting a huge contract or a pay day. What upsets me is the rookie wages. The top 5 rookies in this year's draft will around $30 million in guaranteed money.
NFL is the only league where Rookies fresh out the draft. can get 20+ Mil guranteed or even 5 mil+ for that matter.
Well if we are willing to pay a crapty kicker 4 mil a year I see no reason why we shouldn't pay a real player 3 times that.
They'll do it... The Raiders will probably be the one team to spend ridiculously instead of saving the cash and trying to make a little coin...
We'd free up a lot of money for good players if we cut Jamarcus this year. Too bad the Org. can't see that.
