If linebacker Junior Seau returns to the Patriots for his 19th NFL season, the decision will be made closer to the start of training camp in late July, coach Bill Belichick said. The 39-year-old Seau, whose fiery pregame speeches contributed to his status as a team leader in 2007, is recovering from offseason surgery on his left rotator cuff. He recently underwent a physical for the Patriots, and the sides have maintained an open dialogue about his possible return. The No. 55 Seau donned has not been issued to another player. Yet health might not be the only factor in the decision, as the Patriots have added some inside linebackers to the mix, most notably first-round draft choice Jerod Mayo and free agent signee Victor Hobson.

I'd love to see him come back for his leadership. He is so close to his superbowl ring he can taste it.

Seau reminds me of Marino ...a guy you desparately want to see get a ring, on any team.

pats finally got a quality lb other than someone in their mid or late thirties, they need to make use of mayo. seau missed way too many tackles that he could have made ten years ago. it is time for him to move on

May 31, 2008  10:04 AM ET

If he can't play anymore he obviously has a career as a motivational speaker, or a cheerleader!

May 31, 2008  10:05 AM ET

now is that low fat mayo or?

May 31, 2008  10:21 AM ET

I don't like the Patriots, but I really do like Junior Seau. Bruschi too. Both seem like good leaders who manage to produce year after year.

so what if we cheated...you all are just neo-conservative Patriots haters

May 31, 2008  10:55 AM ET

Oh wow, I was off-base about my remarks on the other thread. You ARE a Patriot fan and you are in full support of their actions. Either way, you are a hateful inciter. Now you're going after conservatives. Walk away bitter person.

May 31, 2008  10:57 AM ET

Thanks Guapo...your damn right I am a Pats fan...just like the 70s Steelers, Lester Hayes with his stick um and Albert Belle with corked bats the Pats cheated...but you cannot take their trophies from them.

May 31, 2008  11:02 AM ET

You're right. You can't. And I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about your baiting conservatives into arguments. That's all you're doing right now.

May 31, 2008  11:04 AM ET

Man the sheeit be gettin deep in here...you get em GUAPO!!!

May 31, 2008  11:05 AM ET

Wish I could but I've got to run. Have a great weekend everyone. You too "cheated."

So what if we cheated? | 05/31/08, 10:26 AM

what the hell does this have to do with whether Seau comes back for a year?

May 31, 2008  11:41 AM ET

"but you cannot take their trophies from them"

And neither can you erase the label of cheating. You will be mentioned in the same breath as the White Sox, Pete Rose, and steroids. How's that for a legacy to be read by future generations, they won't care who won, they will however hear about the cheating.

May 31, 2008  12:02 PM ET

Apparently, KP, your fellow Pats' fan took exception to what Rocket OJ said

Ah yes, Hillary the Pure.
