Can the deal be recinded if Seymour refuses to report, or would that have been needed to be written as a condition of the trade?
I'm wondering if Seymour isn't sitting out until the Raiders promise not to franchise him.

I would imagine the deal can be rescinded. There have been reports of that being a possibility. Just in terms of equity, a 1st rounder can't be given up for nothing. Plus, I would assume that that type of clause is typical in agreements for player transactions.
If Seymour gets his promise, what's stopping the Raiders from simply franchising him anyways? If Seymour wants his payday, he'll get plenty through a franchise tag in a year that the NFL will be open season in terms of contracts.
Or perhaps, this will be the straw that shows Skeletor that players don't want to play for him anymore. You can't run a franchise like he has and continue to think players are going to flock to be apart of it.
I need a new team... and according to Rick Reilly, I qualify.
