Seymour Traded to Raiders
It's a great trade for the Patriots. If you go on the assumption that you weren't going to pay what he was going to want and therefore would only have him for one more season then this trade is very + EV for the Pats. They trade him to the one organization that you are sure will give you back a top 5 pick in 2011.
So if you have reservations ask this. What is worth more, Seymour for one more year or a top 5 draft pick in 2011 where they could conceivably get another Seymour quality player that will be with the team for years to come.
The biggest msitake most teams make in all sports is hanging on to their star players too long. The Patriots key to long term success is that they don't do this.
