Seymour willing to sign with anyone except...

[DED]

New England.

Seymour will almost certainly get the franchise tag or transition tag if he does not agree to a long-term deal. If 2010 is indeed uncapped, teams get one franchise and two transition tags, instead of the normal one tag.

Just keep Seymour already...he played solid for us. We gave up a first round pick for cripes sake.

[Big Game Geoff]

I hope we don't have to tag him...

Exactly, just give him a deal.

[Big O Dick]

He grew up a Raiduh fan, and there was nevah any doubt he wanted to play fuh the Oakland Raiduhs. Get ovah it!

watch Al Franchise Kirk......Al: Kirk grew up a Raider Fan, so here's 8-9 Mill....

watch Al Franchise Kirk......Al: Kirk grew up a Raider Fan, so here's 8-9 Mill....If it's an uncapped year, they get to "transition" a player to, so I guess it is Seymour and Kirk but I hope it's Howard.

If Al doesn't tag Seymore or sign him long term he is a fucking Idiot..I hear Janikowski is going to be a free agent? any truth to this?

Yes and undoubtedly one of the Top 2 highest paid placekickers.....

He is a great kickah! In 2000, I drafted a great kickah. We have always drafted playuhs. He will be the highest paid kickah in history, get ovah it!

[cheapshotartist]

Sign the man Al, If you can over pay stiffs like Sands and Kelly you should have no problem signing Seymour. :csa:

[raidergator]

I was pissed when we selected Sea Bass In the first round..I did put my fist through a door at the time..but he has been pretty consistant these past few seasons..wonder of Al keeps him..

[BADNESS]

Seymour will be signed.Part with Kelly already.Keep Warren, and look at moving Jay Richardson inside.

Seymour,Richardson,Warren & Scott. I could work with that. Kirk should be gone.If Sea-Bass becomes a free-agent (haven't heard that one yet out here) Jerry "I Build Obscene Stadiums In A Recession" Jones will sign him before he can leave 1220 & get in his car.

move Jay Richardson inside??? Have u lost your damn mind!?!?!? Richardson is garbage, & should be let go.

Ah,yes...following this bs this year with the Raiders.I have lost my fucking mind. Richardson can TACKLE & there are flashes of potential at times that could be worked on.In the middle we only need him to TACKLE( a team disease in case you've missed it) and move 3-or-4 yards left or right for 20 plays a game.I'd give it a try.The kid has heart, and he likes playing here (from what he's told me before).That's what i'm going on 666.

[Big Game Geoff]

Al should drug Jano into signing a typical PK contract...

[Sonny Cheeba]

There is no way in hell Al lets a great kickah by the name of Sebastian Janokowski hit free agency. He'll go to his grave knowing that he made two great draft picks to get the great Sean Lechler and team him with Jano to form the greatest kicking duo ever. If it takes $35 mil over 5 years, he'll make it happen. Jano will die a Raider.

Jano is gonna remain a Raider. Don't sweat people. Jano is really tight with Shane Lechler, & won't wanna break up the duo & what they have together. They work together on everything. Jano has broken records, he's scored the most points of any Raider player all-time. jano will want to resign, & Al will kindly resign him. It may be for a nice chunk of coin tho, cuz Jano saw what Lechler got last season.

I would say that's a flat out lie, but it's not. Drafting Jano was another glorious day in the history of the Raiduhs, and with every kick he sails through the uprights, it only further adds to the legacy of this great team. Jano always wanted to be a Raiduh, dating back to when he was the kicker at Fresno State A&M University playing for the great Billy Bowden.

[Tre 6 Months]

"There was nevah any doubt, nevah any doubt that Sebathia Janostowski wanted to be an Oakland Raiduh. He grew up idolizing the Raiduhz, he wants to remain a Raiduh. I drafted the great kickah back in 2000, he was a great playah for Floridah States, so we drafted him. We always draft great playahs, you have to have great playahs. No matter what you think of Al, there our playahs, & we have to love them. That's just the way this world is". - Al Davis

[BADNESS]

Pump your brakes Raider fan. Jano wants to win like any other player.He's becoming a gimmick here.He may want to go elsewhere so he can taste the Adam Viniteri life.Don't be so sure Sea-Bass is so loyal after all this losing.

I dunno Rob. I bet the great Sean Lechler probably wanted to win, but he's got a good gig here and gets to show off his leg, plus Al made him the highest paid punter ever. I thought FOR SURE that the great Nnamdi Asomugha was gonna leave too, but Al made him "The Godfather" offer, if you will....he just couldn't refuse.

I don't think Jano is going anywhere.....we all know how cheap Al is, but not when it comes to great playahs that he obtained by making great draft picks. Seabass is a lifer.

[Demon]

How did this become the seabass thread ? :bouncegrab:

[mickyd]

Jano and Lechler are our best players. I'd sign Jano before Seymour.

[Big O Dick]

Most teams sign kickers off the streets for peanuts and get it done...but when most of our offensive points rely on the kicking game Al has to over pay. HOW PATHETIC IS THAT??

Man I hate Al Davis.

[Nemesys]

Al will probably franchise Jano and let Seymour walk. Let face it, the dude's batshit crazy and he's not getting any more sane in his old age.

[Lil Joker]

How did this become the seabass thread ? :bouncegrab:

It's because he is a great playah and great playahs always get talked about everywhere.

[raidergator]

This is my take on what will be said at the next Raider Press conference:
" Sebastian Janikowski reminds me of a great Rayduh playah back in da days.. George Blanda..Blanda ya see could kick duh ball for Miles! and he played QB as well, a real Warriuh for duh Silva & Black, so Janikoswski will be named our Backup QB to our Sav-yuh Jawmawkus Russell who is by Fah the greatest QB specimen I evah saw..SO GET OVAH IT! Raida Greatness will be back mawk my woids!..and now I have an exhibit here I would like to show yaz on this here overhead projecta that I personally have had customized with our Great Logo..which by duh way has stood duh test of time!.. Dis here timeline will explain in great detail how Darrius Haywuhd Bey is duh second coming of Cliff Branch and dat Mike Mitchell has what it takes to be duh Next Jack Tatum!
Mista Herrerahhh will field any questions dat you all may have, so please be complacent and follow blindly.. Always remembah dat Commitment to Excellence and Pride & Poise are woids dat we live by here in Oakland.. and dat duh Great Raida Nation will have lots to cheer for in 2010!

[raidergator]

How did this become the seabass thread ? :bouncegrab:
:laugh: it can probably attributed to me and one of my long rambling rants..I was inquiring about Sea Bass hitting the free agent market and the possibility of Seymore resigning..it just took a life of its own

Because Al Davis is the dumbest person in the NFL right now, no one even comes close.
