If Vince Wilfolk is upset over his attempt at a contract extension, he should check with former team mate Richard Seymour now with the Oakland Raiders. The Black & Silver have slapped the exclusive free-agent tag on Seymour. He is prohibited from negotiating with other teams once free agency starts on March 5th.
If they cannot sign him to a new contract, they must pay him $12.398 million next season. This is the average salary of the top five highest paid defensive ends in the league. It's not bad money for Seymour, but there is no doubt that he wants to flee the asylum that is the Oakland Raiders lead by owner Al Davis.
The Raiders will make every attempt to sign him as they gave up a first round draft choice in 2011 when they traded for him. Seymour is guaranteed big money at least for next year, but will play for a team that is destined not to make the playoffs.
