Ultimatum for Richard Seymour - BostonHerald.com Hidden in Ian Rapoport's article about Seymour and his letter was this tidbit about Nunn. Seems he had at least 2 teams interested in him but he never considered not coming back to the Pats.

“I just wanted to come back here,” Nunn said. “This is a great organization to be around. I have great receivers to learn from, so I thought this would be the best place to do it.”

Now I'm sure 90% of his reason was because this is a great org. But I think the other 10% is all the love he got on these forums. We all want to be loved and lets face it the boards are gushing with Nunn love. If he had signed somewhere else the built up love wouldnt be there because they hadnt seen him play. Please dont say that players dont read these boards cause I aint buying it. They all want to know what people think about them and you would too. Even the biggest celebs Google themselves its human nature.

So if you are reading this Mr. Nunn and I think you are. Welcome to Foxboro my man, You have what we all see as an impressive skill set, and we all are pulling for you. Good luck!

Umm...then what percentage of it was the team's not fielding any outside WRs under age 32? Surely opportunity is one of the biggest factors in a decision like this. MAYBE even bigger than message board posts.

I can hear the fanboys yelling....Get rid of Galloway, it's Nunn time....the new Michael Bishop.

On a side note...what happened too Tate? I know he is on the IR, but was he a no go all camp or did something happen during preseason. Did his college injury carryover?

Not IR. A form of PUP (NFI, "Non-Football Injury", since it was something he had before he started playing in the NFL), so he can come back later this season.

Bussey and McKenzie are on IR.

Not to mention that he already knew the system and coaches. If he signs on someone else's PS, he is starting from square one again. It makes sense for him to stay, all things being equal.

I like the sentiment behind this thread, but I think that NFL players act primarily in what they perceive as their own self-interest. If it's a close call between one place and another, then I think that other factors can come into play. But, yeah, I do think we're a pretty nice group on this Board.

He'll probably be with the team next season, I don't see Galloway staying here for long.

I hope he keeps working hard and be ready when the time comes

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words!

I agree. Additionally, I think, in your first sentence, you could replace the words "NFL players" with the word "humans".

He's not on the IR. Tate is on the Reserve /Non-Football Injury list. He's still recovering from his ACL injury, but people expect him back this season.
