Reply #10: UPDATE: Seymour has not yet reported to the Raiders... [View All]

and no one knows why.

S.F. Chronicle, 9-8-9:

Defensive lineman Richard Seymour, a five-time Pro Bowler, refused to report for duty Monday at team headquarters in Alameda, one day after the Patriots traded him to the Raiders for a 2011 first-round draft pick. For the record, the Raiders are getting concerned.

"We have attempted to make a deal," Raiders coach Tom Cable said of what he called the "Richard Seymour issue" after practice Monday. "There are some issues still between him and the Patriots that are being worked out. "Hoping that that will get resolved as quickly as possible."

So what's the holdup? Don't ask the Patriots. They've got nothing to add. "We are unaware of any issues," Patriots spokesman Stacy James said.

The only known issue is Seymour has yet to leave the Boston area to pass his Oakland physical and become a Raider.
