The Napa Valley Register, the local newspaper in Napa....where the Raiders training camp is located.....did an article on Raiders executive John Herrera on this Tuesday.

Raider Greg tells the story, and gives his thoughts about John.

TOPICS: Segment #1: "Raider Greg's 2010 Crystal Ball" Raider Greg breaks down the 2010 season game by game, giving you the "experts" opinions on how each game will play out, and then his opinion. Segment #2: "Richard Seymour - No Long Term Contract This Year" The Raiders gave up a 1st round pick in 2011 in order to trade for Richard Seymour in September of 2009. There was some criticism of this move at the time, with fans saying that it was risky to give up a 1st round pick to get Seymour for possibly just one year. No long-term contract was signed by the deadline, but the Raiders did make Seymour the Raiders "franchise player" for 2010, which means he will play a 2nd year in Oakland at a minimum. Any long-term deal will have to wait until after this season. Raider Greg gives his thoughts. Segment #3: "The Raiders NEW Linebacking Corps - Can They Defend The Pass?" A lot has been said about the acquisition of Rolando McClain, Kamerion Wimbley, and Quentin Groves during the off-season in order to help the Raiders in their run stopping abilities.

TOPICS: Segment #1: "A New Suit For Tom Cable" Randy Hanson has filed suit against Tom Cable AND the Oakland Raiders. The suit filed in Alameda County accuses Cable of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Raider Greg gives details and his thoughts on the matter. Segment #2: "SeaBass Kicked Some Ass" Sebastian Janokowski, who would have been an Unrestricted Free Agent on March 5th, signed a new contract with the Raiders, making him by far the highest paid place kicker in NFL history. The four-year deal totals $16 million, with $9 million guaranteed. Raider Greg tells you why he thinks it's a good deal for the Raiders and for Jano. Segment #3: "Seymour FRANCHISED!" The Raiders placed the "Exclusive Franchise Player" tag on DE Richard Seymour to protect themselves from losing him to another ream without compensation. Seymour was the only one of six franchise players league wide to be given the “exclusive” designation, meaning no other teams can negotiate with him. This move guarantees Seymour $12 million dollars for the 2010 season (if he doesn't sign a long-term contract during the off-season). The franchise tag provides an opportunity for the Raiders to hold on to Seymour while the unstable market shakes itself out. The Raiders can then use the deal signed by other defensive ends to determine Seymour's value. Raider Greg gives you the details and his thoughts on the matter.
