As many here pointed out, the Pats missed the boat on Seward. Would have brought at least another two Lombardi's, filling that painful gap between the two championship runs. That, plus Reggie Wayne, Ochocinco, and Tim Tebow being used correctly. What were they thinking!?
But the NFL front office knew talent when it saw it. From his Wiki:
In 2010, after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia that required intensive repairs to not only the abdominal area, but also to several tendons in the right leg, Seward retired from the NFL and took a job with the NFL's representative office in Mexico City. After achieving success in Mexico, Seward was employed by the NFL's representative office in Beijing, China. In 2014, Seward was named the defensive coordinator of the Kyoto University football team in Kyoto, Japan. Seward holds a master's degree in business administration from the University of Southern California. He is fluent in Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese. Currently, Seward serves as the president of Goober Foundation Properties, Ltd., a real estate investment, management, and development firm.
Why he's not at least a defensive coordinator for some team is inexplicable.
