Most players who leave the Pats end up signing big contracts with other teams. Everyone was surprised when the team traded All-Pro DT Richard Seymour to the Oakland Raiders for the team's first round pick in the 2011 draft.
Seymour had been vocal about his desire to sign a big money contract. The Raiders were unable to wok a deal prior to the 2010 season so they gave him the franchise tag. This lead to him getting a big payout as the average of the top five salaries for his position.
He has struck gold again for the 2011 season. The Raiders have signed him for two years at $30 million, with $22.5 guaranteed.
Seymour will probably finish his career with the dysfunctional Raiders lead by owner Al Davis. However, we cannot feel sorry for him as he will be compensated quite handsomely.
