The Patriots apparently no longer have one of the best defensive lines in the league. I woke up this Sunday morning, and to my absolute shock, learned that Richard Seymour was on his way out the door, having been traded to the Oakland Raiders.
The compensation, a 2011 first round pick. While that pick [...]
