Seau was far from useless for the Patriots. Far from the player he once was, obviously, but he was second on the team in tackles before his forearm did a dead fish impression in the middle of a game. But Junior might want to recall that he was about 98% retired when the Patriots desperate need for depth rescued him from retirement. Call me crazy, but I don't think the market will be any hotter for him when he's coming off a broken arm.
That's not to say I think he's making a bad decision, or he shouldn't come back ... that's his own decision to make without judgment from outsiders. But Junior Seau's a guy who just can't envision himself doing anything other than playing football, and whether he likes that or not ... eventually, it will have to become reality.
