The Boston Globe reports Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told WEEI retired LB Junior Seau took a physical with the team. It's unknown if Seau will sign or how many games he would play in prompting Belichick to say, "If a player is playing he is playing whether it's four games, six games, eight games, or 10 games. That's what it is."

Just a season removed from being the Patriots' offensive coordinator and stepping into the head coaching ranks, Josh McDaniels is quick to recognize his time in New England. "Most, if not all, of the things that we try to do to win in terms of the big picture come from my experience in New England. The Boston Herald reports the respect is mutual from Bill Belichick towards McDaniels as a "coach, personnel evaluator and in general for his football knowledge and his ability to manage the game."
