True enough.

Wow I am shocked. I wouldn't have thought you would support such a trade especially with his age and all.

Any news on this, is he a raider yet?

Nope. He didn't report today, either...

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)—Richard Seymour(notes) failed to report to Oakland for a second straight day Tuesday after being traded from the New England Patriots.

“I really have nothing to report on that,” Raiders coach Tom Cable said. “Nothing has changed at this point.”
Other popular stories across the Yahoo! network:

Seymour, a five-time Pro Bowl defensive end, was acquired from the Patriots on Sunday in exchange for Oakland’s first-round draft pick in 2011. The move was on the NFL’s official transactions list and Seymour is on the Raiders’ roster on their Web site.

Cable said he spoke with Seymour earlier this week and that the defensive lineman told him he wants to play in Oakland.

Cable reiterated that he is hopeful Seymour will play for the Raiders but declined to discuss reports the two sides were in talks on a new contract.

“I don’t want to comment about anything of that until we have something that’s done and concrete,” Cable said.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick also refused to talk about Seymour and the trade during his daily meeting with the media.

So what happens at this point, can this trade actually become null and void?

Maybe, and maybe. Either he's negotiating a new deal before reporting, or walking there reeaallly slowly, like I did at 8 years old when I knew a whippin' awaited.

Apparently, Cable said Seymour said that he needs to work some stuff out with the Patriots. And the Patriots pretty much responded, "What the f**k are they talking about?" ROFL

Rumor has it that Seymour wants a contract extension. But I've also heard that he wants them to guarantee not to use the tag on him. I would think he's demanding either/or: either you pay me a shitload of cash in a new contract to sacrifice the rest of my career wasting my talents in Oakland, or you promise to let me free with my 40 acres and a mule after my year of toiling in servitude in the purgatory that is Oakland.

All I know is, I'm willing to bet his relationship with the Patriots is permanently in the shitter over this. So, if for some reason the trade DIDN'T happen, there's no way he's going back. Which mean the Pats would be forced to move him SOMEWHERE. Which means they'd be forced to take the best deal available. If I were Pioli, I'd be calling Belichick and be in his ear, like that little devil sitting on Tom Hulce's shoulder when he was pushing the chick home in the shopping cart, saying, "F**k her! Suck her tits!" I'd be saying, "Hey, Bill... I hear you're having problems over there... you know, we'd be happy to take Seymour off your hands..."

You're obviously joking
