The Oakland Raiders remain hopeful with the value of defensive end Richard Seymour, who was traded from the New England Patriot at the cost of a first-round draft pick in 2011, so they used the franchise tag to keep him in Raiders jerseys.
The tag is an expensive one to cost the Raiders $12.398 million for Seymour’s service in 2010 season if no long-term extension can be worked out between the club and Seymour’s agent Eugene Parker. This move is actually not surprising but many doubt whether the nine-year veteran is worth the money.
The Raiders offense has already been moribund and Seymour has not been the anchor of the defense as Raiders expected. Now with the first-round draft pick in 2011, the Patriots could find a very nice player they are eager to have, but the Raiders have to be patient with Seymour to see whether he will improve to be an anchor.
