Just three days after he called it quits, former San Diego Chargers and Miami Dolphins’ linebacker Junior Seau is meeting with the New England Patriots.
“Junior left a message for Chargers President Dean Spanos today alerting him that he may sign a contract and play for the New England Patriots,” the Chargers said Thursday in a statement. “If, in fact, he chooses to continue his playing career, we wish him good health and the best of luck this season. Junior’s place in the Chargers Hall of Fame awaits him when his career is over.”
The Patriots desperately need some bodies in their linebacker unit, since they lost Willie McGinest to Cleveland this offseason and Teddy Bruschi, Chad Brown and Monte Beisel are all dealing with injuries.
This should really come as no surprise since Seau made it public that he felt no team wanted his services. This guy still wants to play and who knows? He might. The guy has always played with emotion and dedication to the game and I’m sure he’s more than physically fit to play.
