Seau hints at another comeback

I don't care if he's old. I love this guy. He deserves a ring. He should come back.

Ride, Junior ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed

Man that Junior is really trippin, he is far out man, if i was him i would smoke another doobie and catch the next wave @ waikiki

It would be great to have Junior as part of the team one last year so he can get his Superbowl ring with them this season to cap off the 'ots' decade, and his 20th season. Maybe if all the LBs are healthy, someone else will go on IR and make room for him in December in time to play in the Superbowl with the Patriots. He would still make a high number of tackles and be productive. We saw that last season. He would probably be a top 5 tackler for the next 5 seasons if he continued to play, stats wise, so why not. And at league minimum for a vet, (what, maybe $1mil for the season, less for half a season ) he would not be a hinderance to the salary cap.

I would love to see Junior Seau come back He is still a power hitter Patriots need that now that they got rid of Vrabel

And Carl Everett doesn't believe in dinosaurs because he never saw one. Well the 2009 New England Patriots will have about three roaming the Field..

Please stop with this.

Junior please! Give it up! Yea, you;re familiar with the Patriots' "system" and that's great, but how effective are you?
God bless you because you've had a great career and you seem like a fine man, but you were only asked back last time because there was basically no choice.
Stay in SD and surf your cubes off man!

Some players just don't know when to hang up the cleats for good. This is getting kind of sad.

Nice gig if you can get it.

Really? I don't know. There's the injuries over the last couple seasons to think about and right now the Pats need some speed defensively, especially at the LB's.

I Agree With Fooze, Go Junior - I Can't Wait To See You Come Back. You Should Get a Ring Before You Will Ahead Retire. :) I Love You Junior With My Heart.

Hey Don't Listen Everyone Are Negative About You. I Think They Are No Patriots Fans. Think About It. Winkz Junior!!

I guess Brett Favre isn't the only one who doesn't know when enough is enough.

Friends don't let friends make third and fourth NFL comebacks.

It would be great to see Seau finally get his ring with the Patriots. He has earned it, and deserves one!

I see him in person at the Oakland game. He was all over the field. If he can still play effectively, why not?

why wouldn't you want this guy in your locker room, even if his contributions on the field are limited? it's not like he's going to ask for a lot of money in this stage of the game.

Give it up, dude! You had your chance for a ring against the Giants and let Manning drive down the field and take it from you. All you have to do is watch the replay of the Seattle game last year to see Seau is done. He's responsible for tackling Branch in the flat and lets him go for an 80 yard game.

I think the they should look at signing Seau if they don't like what is going on with the ILB'S during the season. Seau can still play but he wouldn't be doing this if it weren't the Pats....I have Seau as the 5th best ILB of all time......what is everybody's opinion /??????
1. Dick Butkus
2. Rey Nitchke
3. Jack Lambert
4.Chuck Bednerik
5. Junior Seau
6. Rey Lewis.........Yes Lewis after Seau.....Seau dominated for 13 straight years where Lewis was great from 96 to 03....After 03 season, he hasnt been the same and not even the best LB on Ravens...Adalius Thomas was there best LB for 3 yrs and now Lewis is too slow and they keep him becos of leadership.....

If Pats need either JR,or Willie than were in trouble,just retire

It must hurt to be half his age and realize that this old man is still better than you are.
How can you argue with 29 tackles in 4 games?
I just hope the "surfing" thing is secondary to serious time in the gym while he waits for BB's call.
I say surf's up in Foxboro!

Say what you will about Seau's age, if one of our LBs goes down can you name a free agent LB out there that would do better?

Listen, with this linebacking corps, I'd take him and McGinest back; no questions asked.

I'd love to see Junior come back-the Patriots will need him now that Vrabel is gone, not just for his skills on the field, but for his leadership and intensity-on and off the field.

As for Willie McGinest, I'd love to see him come back in a coaching role. He always had a presence, on and off the field, and I think he would be a great help to Bill.

"In the final four games of last season, Seau had 29 tackles for the Patriots. "

Seau's 29 tackles in 4 games is proportional to him getting 101.5 tackles through14 games. For comparison, James Harrison (2008 Defensive MVP) had 101 tackles in the regular season. The most any player had was D'Qwell Jackson with 154. Of course Seau's age would've played a factor if he had played in 3.5 times more games, but that's a different story.

Too old? Washed up? Are you guys serious? Seau's 29 tackles in 4 games is proportional to him getting 101.5 tackles through14 games.

HEY JUNIOR whats up do you really want to risk a possible serious injury man you need to just let it go and sit back and watch THE PATS on your big--ss flat screen tv you have nothing to prove and its not a sure thing that the pats will go all the way this year but whatever its your life dogg

I'd take Seau over Willie in a heart-beat
He's been in the system more recently & showed he's still got ability left if only called upon for the final few ga,mes/play-offs.
Keeps himself in shape as part of his normal lifestyle & if called by BB (most likely due to injuries) would be hungry for a chance to get a ring...you know he still wants one!
Although I loved his past performances as a Patriot...Willie on the other hand - has been in the Brown's system 3 years straight & basically unable to do anything. He was playing for Romeo, who we know was familiar with him & should've been able to get more production that he did. I hate saying it, but I think Big Mac has seen the end of him being a play-maker. We loved to be proved wrong, but I really just don't see it happening.

Junior Seau is a real class act and still in phenominal shape for a guy considered ancient by NFL standards. He got where he is the clean way which is getting rarer and rarer in professional sports. I'm sure he can still play and if he has an opportunity to play again for a ring, then who are we to tell him he is wrong? For Junior, that truly represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he chooses to do so, let him have his fun. As a fan, I know what it is like to watch a legend during their playing days... guys like Bobby Orr and Larry Bird. Seau is a legend. Don't be in such a hurry to push him out the door.

I believe Bill will seek Junior only if the injuries mount, as they did last season. Old? yes Wise? much better Deserve a ring? you bet

He's been a good player for the Pats, but only fills a niche, IMO. I think he's very good as a weak side ILB on early downs, and that's about it. Horrible on the strong side and worthless on passing downs.

He probably shouldn't overtake Alexander or Lenon (whichever of them makes the roster as the #4 ILB...). But it sounds like he'd only be an option in case of injury. That's cool. He'll be the "unofficial" #5 ILB for the Pats.

I see the Jet's fans and Pitt fans asking that he give it up. I am Santa Monica child that thinks Junior will play (though late) and be productive.

Go Junior, show them what an old man on a big board can do!!

If Belichick feels he can play than I go with Belichick.

We were obviously glad to have him last year. In the same (injury) situation, we'd be glad to have him again.

I would love to see JR. get a ring ... He deserves one! he is one of the best ever to play the game and he is still in shape! The pats are weak at that position and it sweat to have somebody of his calliber ready and willing to get in the heat of the battle if he is needed!!!!!

Why oh why didn't we pick up a linebacker in the draft?? Clay Matthews was right there for the taking...

I have been saying it all along. I hope he's coming back. And he brings intangibles that other players just don't have!

he still has it.the patriots should let junior seau come back later this year,and he could contribute,and cap off his fine career with the lombardi.

I hope Seau can comeback to play. I admired his play when he played against us at San Diego. As mentioned earlier not only is he a great player (even at his age), but the guy deserves a Super Bowl Ring. In fact his experience and attitude would help the team in the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

didnt want to post my comment from yesterday please it wasnt any worse than whats on there now you people are a JOKE

C'mon back, Junior!!! We'd love to have you back till you're 50! Just as long as it's not because of injuries!

Frist, I am against bringing in McGinnest . Because he hasn't performed well the past three seasons. But Junior? Old or not, the guy has been very productive every season he has played for the Pats. I don't care if he is 50 - if he plays well, he should play. Makr my words, when the inuries pile up, he will be wearing a Pats jersey in '09.

BTW, the reason I believe the Pats cut McGinnest is because he lost this cool and started a fight with Larry Izzo in the failed AFC play-off against Denver. We never see Pats' players fight and I think he was cut to set an example. It was not a difficult move to make because he also had a big money coming his way if he stayed.

Hopefully they can have a healthy linebacker core for a season. They're due

Love the guy. If he feels he and Bill feel he's got something to give then bring him on. And it won't be just to give him a shot at a ring, it'll be because he can HELP us GET a ring. Guys amazing really.

I wait to see where the Pats are halfway through the season, if they are in a good place, bring him in to help as others tire and he'll be in a position to help and earn a ring. One that he justly deaserves but I don't think will take as a handout!

And why not bring Rodney Harrison back for a few games? And let's sign Brett Favre as our backup QB now that Steve McNair is no longer available.
