I was taken aback last week when a Raiders coach told me Tommy Kelly was going to receive “Richard Seymour money.”
Bu he we was right. According to ESPN Kelly signed seven-year contract worth $50.5 million to stay with the Raiders.
Of that sum, $18.125 million is guaranteed.
If the Raiders play Kelly at defensive tackle, his deal would be the richest ever for a defensive tackle. But don’t be surprised to see Albert Haynseworth surpass that total this spring.
Kelly was playing better than any other Raider on the defensive line before he tore his ACL and missed half the season.
