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?"
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..."
