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.
