Patriots haven't talked to McGinest
While former Patriots linebacker Willie McGinest has made it clear that he would be open to a return to the Patriots and told Albert Breer of Sporting News that he's talked to Tom Brady and Richard Seymour, nothing has changed since April, when McGinest expressed similar sentiments in an NFL.com chat. A source close to McGinest said today that the veteran linebacker would like to return for a 16th season and maintains a relationship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick, but there have been no formal talks aimed at bringing McGinest back to New England and no offer from the Patriots. Of course that could change, especially with the Patriots' perceived weakness at outside linebacker. McGinest would like to play next season and with more teams switching to the 3-4 he's likely to draw some interest, at which point he'll have to decide if the system and situation suit him well enough to postpone his burgeoning broadcast career.

Maybe their "stoner" interns are working, and the real threads will be posted later.

Maybe there will be one about Brett Favre later that says he is changing his mind and trying his luck as a pitcher and baseball and the Pirates signed him...oh wait...that would require money on the Pirates part.

Good point. And he is due a substantial salary.
50: what's the rate for a Civil War veteran? Would the Patriots be due cap relief under the new rules for keeping a someone at the high-end veteran minimum?
These threads without 50 are lacking his deep insight.
