Willie McGinest has competition if he wants to fill the “Old dude that saves the day” role on the Patriots defense this Fall.
In an interview with XX 1090 in San Diego, Junior Seau indicated he’ll be available if the Patriots need his services during the NFL season.
“I’ll definitely look at it at the end of October or November. Let’s put it that way.”
Unlike McGinest, Seau doesn’t sound interested in showing up for training camp or the beginning of the season. He’s too busy surfing.
The Patriots must hope that they don’t need to call either player. While it’s a luxury to have quality veterans available who know their system, a call is only necessary if injuries strike.

That’s cheesy. “Hey coach, call me if you make the Super Bowl! I want a ring.”
Jeff George is also available too if needed…
We need outside LB’s, not inside LB’s.
I want Willie McGinest back instead.
Vinny Testaverde might be available too…
Junior seems like a great teammate.
Too bad he didn’t get a ring with the Pats, but he was part of some great teams.
Wants to come after retiring. Check.
Willing to only play for one team. Check.
Doesn’t want to go through training camp. Check.
Why does this sound familiar?
