Default Pats sign LB T.J. Slaughter [merged]

Quote:
In a minor move, the Patriots signed free-agent LB T.J. Slaughter to a contract today.

The 30-year-old Slaughter, who was a teammate of Patriots linebacker Adalius Thomas at Southern Mississippi, did not play in the 2007 season. He has suited up for the Jaguars (2000-2003), Packers (2003), Ravens (2003-2004), Saints (2005) and 49ers (2006).

Slaughter projects as an inside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 alignment, and at this point, would likely be vying for a backup spot.

Tedy Bruschi and Junior Seau finished the season as starters at inside linebacker. Both were in the final year of their contracts. The addition of Slaughter should not impact the potential returns of Bruschi and Seau.

Is this a sign that Bruschi or Seau is definitely going to retire now?

TJ Slaughter... he was in for tryouts sometime during the year, wasn't he? Maybe around the time they signed Chad Brown?

Lol. He's got a scary mugshot and his name sounds like an American Gladiator. Maybe next season will be the real "eff you" tour and the Pats just try and kill people.

Little ado about nothing. If anything, Slaughter may compete for Izzo's spot. He's a STer, nothing more.

seau sounded like he wanted anoter shot,
if bruschi hangs it up its going to be real sad.
but this siging means nothing slaughter isnt going to be a starter,
hope fully we can pick up a good inside linebacker in the draft or FA

I just can't see Bruschi and Seau of all people ending their football careers like this.

And I really hope they don't.
