Report: Richard Seymour Agrees to Two-Year Contract With Raiders, Potentially Worth $30 Million

The Oakland Raiders are getting the most out of their 2009 trade with the Patriots, reportedly locking up Richrad Seymour for another two seasons.

According to Sports Illustrated's Jim Trotter, Seymour and the Raiders agreed to a two-year deal with $22.5 million in guaranteed money.

It was reported earlier this month that Seymour would again have the franchise tag placed on him, but the team avoided that route this year.

If he earns the full $30 million, Seymour, 31, will become the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL with the new deal.

In 13 games last season, Seymour finished with 5.5 sacks and 48 tackles, as the Raiders finished with an 8-8 record.
