here's what I don't get about the Seymour situation....

reportedly, the Raiders have the right to inform Seymour that he has 5 days to report to the team, or he's considered out for the year (meaning his contract does NOT expire after this season like it should), the Raiders get their draft pick back while still retaining their rights to Seymour, and the Pats get squadoosh...if that's true then if he's looking for an extension from Oakland like the media is saying, how does he have any leverage by holding out at all?

this leads me to believe that he's either really dumb and doesn't know/understand the rules or he's destroying his career to just get back at the Pats for trading him...I don't see how him not reporting makes any sense
