Three days later, Seau may unretire

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Junior Seau may come out of retirement to play for the New England Patriots.

Just three days after the San Diego Chargers threw him a lavish party to celebrate the end of his career, Seau told his former team Thursday that he might be coming back.

"Junior left a message for Chargers President Dean Spanos today alerting him that he may sign a contract and play for the New England Patriots," the Chargers said in a statement. "If, in fact, he chooses to continue his playing career, we wish him good health and the best of luck this season. Junior's place in the Chargers Hall of Fame awaits him when his career is over."
