NAPA _ Bruce Irvin has no hard feelings toward the team that essentially gave him his walking papers.
After all, when the Seattle Seahawks declined to exercise a fifth-year option on his rookie deal that would have paid $7.8 million, Irvin became an unrestricted free agent and signed a four-year contract with the Raiders that could pay as much as $37 million.
Truth be told, the Seahawks roster was loaded, and Irvin understood the economics of the move.
