Seau in town

Veteran linebacker Junior Seau, who retired from the Dolphins last week, is in Foxboro today working out for and meeting with the Pats.

A yea or nay decision is expected by the end of the day.

Seau's services are needed because of training camp injuries to Tedy Bruschi and Chad Brown. The current Pats linebacker rotation in the 3-4 is Mike Vrabel and Rosey Colvin at OLB with Tully Banta-Cain as the first man in off the bench and Barry Gardner, Monty Beisel and Don Davis fighting for the ILB jobs with minimal effectiveness so far.

Seau can play anywhere in the linebacker corps but he's mostly played outside linebacker during his career.

The 36-year-old played seven games for Miami last season and eight for the Dolphins the year before.

Seau has always seemed like one of those guys who cannot walk away from the game. That's fine, and he certainly found a good organization to ride with in 2006. But as I blogged about this morning, don't forget that Chad Brown was a wise veteran linebacker who many thought would adjust and make a great Patriot and even he struggled to get comfortable right away. Seau has missed all of the offseason and most of training camp - when will he learn Belichick's complext scheme?
