Saw that on PFT as well. Interesting.

If Seau can retire and just sign with the Pats 3 days later, who says Plummer can't do that with, say, HOUSTON?

Because Seau was a free agent. Plummer is under contract and will go under the reserve/retired list.

If Corey Dillon really wants to retire, he doesn't need the Patriots to release him. However, if they don't, he can't come back with any team but the Patriots while his contract is valid. If it were that easy, every player in the league would retire every season then come back as a free agent the next year.

Same thing.

Somehow I thought Seau was still under contract, my bad.
