Eitherway, I think both always look forward to playing the team that let them go as "washups". Both Harrison and Seau were bolts for so long and we basically tossed aside no?

You are right in the sense Seau last played for Miami before coming to Foxboro. When he was a free agent, he signed a one day with the Chargers to retire with his original team as a ceremonial thing. Then two days later, Bill Belichick needed a linebacker (forgot who got hurt in training camp) and offered Seau a chance.
You are right the Chargers pushed both aside. I don't blame A.J. Smith and the front office either. At the time, a youth movement was the right direction to go in.
