Re: Seau
I think we would love to have Seau in 2007, especially if Brischi retires.
I think that Seau would like to come back in 2007 because he wants to earn a ring in a Super Bowl that he plays in (this year won't count if we win because he won't be playing).
Looking at free agents, draft picks, and room under the salary cap, the patriots are well positioned for an exceptional off season. I expect to have a 2003-2004 level team next year (i.e. a team good enough to win a super bowl WITHOUT Brady/Belichick magic [this years team NEEDS the magic we saw on Sunday]).
A key problem is that Seau has major problems with Pepper Johnson.
My ideal scenario is that the Pats win, Bruschi retires on top and becomes the new LB coach [I think he is running out of gas an knows it], and Pepper moves to some other part of the defensive organization.
I love Pepper to death, but I think his people skills need work and that he's a bit jealous of Seau who is a guaranteed hall of famer.
