Rodney Harrison: ‘I Wouldn’t Go to Oakland’

With Richard Seymour still MIA after being traded from New England to Oakland on Sunday, many have speculated what's going on inside his head.

One person with a bit more insight than most folks made known his thoughts.

"I wouldn't go to Oakland. There's no way in the world I would go to Oakland," said former teammate Rodney Harrison to ProFootballTalk.com. "The only way I would report is if they promised they wouldn't franchise me after this year."

Harrison described the situation in Oakland as the polar opposite of how business was conducted in Foxborough.

"He's going from a first-class organization to one of the worst in the NFL," Harrison said. "You have the head coach fighting the assistant coaches, the owner involved in the day-to-day operations, guys who don't believe in the quarterback. … Tom Brady to JaMarcus Russell? Come on. Is that something to look forward to? Why would he be excited?"

Harrison said that he sees the trade as just another ugly side to the game.

"The trade off is [that] guys get to win championships and make a lot of money, but at the end, it's business," he said. "I knew that and instead of my getting whacked [by New England], I whacked myself. If you make money and you're older, it's inevitable you're gonna get whacked."
