02/25/10 - Show #266: Raiders Pre-Free Agency News




Raider Nation Podcast - Las Vegas Raiders News and Opinion with Raider Greg show

Summary: 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. It says the Raiders made only a cursory investigation of the attack and ratified Cable's conduct by failing to discipline him and by not allowing Hanson to remain as an assistant coach. 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.
