Better than August, I really hope he gives it one more go.

As long as he's not in on every down again, I'd love for him to come back.

Let's hope he can still help this club as a ring for Junior would be the best way for his career to come to a close.

My gut tells me this isn't Jr. decision. BB is deciding if he has enough with his new LB that having the old guy isn't worth a roster spot with his new talent or if the new folks aren't ready for prime time.

I would say the better news would be BB saying we don't need Jr with all the rest of the talent we have than BB saying we need Jr.

I hear that on Jr perhaps being not necessary, and that being a good thing, but I tend to think that having him on the roster could help. His experience and penchant for big plays...I like him on this team.

Statistically speaking, he had a pretty good year for us. He made a lot of big plays for us too. Most INTs he's had in his career was here in 07 with 3.

I thought BB would want him back in a heart beat.
In fact, I thought it was Junior that didn't know what he wanted to do.

I think he made a huge contribution this year and I hope he stays on for another one. He's such a smart player, and no doubt he has guts.He's slower of course, but he's still strong, and he anticipates plays so well.
Seau and BB will probably make a decision together, I'd assume anyway. Junior seems like a stand up member of the team, and I also think BB has a great deal of respect for him. If BB wants him I think Jr. will play another year.
If BB doesn't want him then they'll just say it was Junior's decision.

07 could be his last season with Pats if our new players are ready to take his position.
