“I always felt like that chapter was closed when I left there,” Seymour said. “I’ve always been grateful for the time I spent there, and we had a great time together. I thought it worked well for both sides, but I kind of moved on from there.” And, as Seymour noted, the Patriots “moved on as well.” “I don’t think that will be anything that we see in the future,” Seymour said of a second stint with the club that drafted him in 2001.
Richard Seymour: Reunion with the Patriots not in the cards | ProFootballTalk
Not that there was any doubt about this, but yeah…
Still remains one of the most shocking moments of my Patriots fandom, remember clearly sitting in a diner for breakfast and seeing the news break on twitter. Unfortunately the Raiders didn’t quite stink as much as us Patriots fans hoped they would’ve in 2010, though the Pats did get Nate Solder out of it, so in hindsight, probably a pretty good deal. Would the 2009 Pats have done something with Seymour in the mix? Probably not, especially without Welker in the playoffs and no threat outside of a declining Randy Moss.
