The Oakland Raiders held a morning practice today, and a player noticeably absent was one recently acquired Richard Seymour. In fact, according to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle, Seymour hasn’t even left Boston yet, and the deal to send him to Oakland still isn’t done.
Seymour To Oakland Not a Done Deal?
Raiders coach Tom Cable talked about “the Richard Seymour issue” after practice Monday, confirming their trade with the Patriots is anything but a done deal.“We have attempted to make a deal,” Cable said. “There are some issues still between him and the Patriots that are being worked out. Hoping that that will get resolved as quickly as possible. We know that the player wants to be here but we have really no control over those issues. So that’s really all I’m going to talk about it for now.”
Cable added that Seymour has told him that he wants to be there (in Oakland). The deal won’t become final until Seymour shows up and then passes a physical, and as of right now, no one has any idea of when that will happen, if at all.
What, you thought a trade involving Al Davis and the Raiders would be simple and easy?
