Seymour Leads Raiders Workouts In Atlanta

Oct 1, 2014 2:16 PM

Richard Seymour led 33 of his Oakland teammates through workouts Tuesday in suburban Atlanta. The six-time Pro Bowl selection isn't looking to relocate. He just felt Georgia was a good place to hold a minicamp. Seymour lives in the metropolitan area, is paying some of the training costs and likes the easy access to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Quarterback Jason Campbell, running back Darren McFadden and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey were on hand for the workouts.

Raiders Staff Selling Tickets To Avoid Cuts

Oct 31, 2014 4:26 PM

With no minicamps, offseason workouts or other activities during the lockout, every member of the Raiders organization is now part of the ticket staff, according to an ESPN.com report. Instead of forcing employees to take pay cuts or unpaid furloughs during the lockout as several teams are doing, the Raiders have implemented a plan that allows people to keep their full salary if they sell a certain number of season tickets. "Different teams are taking different approaches," chief executive officer Amy Trask said Wednesday.

Jackson: Seymour Was Best First-Round Pick

Nov 28, 2014 9:15 PM

The Raiders didn't have a first-round pick in last week's NFL Draft because of a trade with the Patriots that netted them Richard Seymour. Because they dealt the pick for the defender, Oakland coach Hue Jackson believes Seymour was the best selection of the first round. "A lot of people say we didn't have a first round draft pick, but we really felt like we did because obviously we got to retain the services of Richard Seymour, who we traded for and we felt we had the best first round draft pick in the draft. I feel very good about him and where he's headed," Jackson told Gil Brandt of Sirius XM. Seymour had 48 tackles and 5.5 sacks for the Raiders in 13 games this past season.
