Would Richard Seymore Be Worth a Look? (1 Viewer)

I know he's up there in age, But I think he's got something left in the tank. We could use him in a rotation at NT & DE. He's also played in Ryans system when Ryan was in Oakland. What do y'all think, let me see your thoghts on this.

He's a punk. I'll pass.

Man I wish I knew as many NFL players personally as you guys do.

I never read that in his bio.

Does a crackhead want another hit??

He's gotten into some unnecessary scuffles on the field.

Plus there's not much left in the tank.

God forbid a football player get in a scuffle, right? I mean OMG.

Is punching a QB part of the game?

I'll love for Seymore to punch the daylights out of Matt Ryan.

Was beating Brett Favre to a pulp and the high low hits part of the game? Who cares? Every last one of us wants the 2009 defense back. A personal foul is good every now and then.

I'm just gonna point out that you guys are trying to reason with someone who was suggesting that the Saints tank the 2012 season within the first month. Just consider that before investing any serious debate time into him.

Would he really be any better than Kenyon Coleman at this point? I'm inclined to say "pass" and save the cap space for next season. We've had some poor luck with big name end of career vets, e.g. Dan Morgan (friggin twice) and Olin Kreutz.

Good thought though.

I'd like to have him and dansby aboard but it'd probably cost too much for its worth

 

[Prodigy]

If he signs a vet minimum, i say yes!

 

[B_doggman47]

I agree. A 1yr. contract for vet minimum. That way if he doesn't perform we won't lose much if we cut him. I really think he could still be pretty good. He probablly still remembers what to do in RR's scheme that he played in for a couple of years in Oakland.

Kenyan Coleman has been a marginal starter his entire career and is now washed up - simply cheap depth. Coleman has 13.5 career sacks over 11 seasons and is 34 years old.

Seymour had 18.5 sacks the past 3.5 years (IR halfway through last year) on a terrible Oakland Raiders squad (57.5 career sacks). He was not that long ago viewed as hands down the best defensive lineman in the NFL and traded for a 1st round pick. He clearly is not the elite game changer he once was. However, at 33 is not finished. I think he'd be great as starter at RDE with Cam Jordan opposite learning the position from a hall of famer and Jenkins, Hicks or Bunkley at NT. The reason Seymour is still out there is because he is asking for significant money, but his price tag will come down.

Don't forget Darren Sharper. He was an unmitigated disaster...............
