Two Quick Thoughts

1. Junior Seau Is Found Shot In His House
Seau was a linebacker for the Patriots from 2006 to 2009. The future Hall of Famer was found dead in his house in San Diego this afternoon. Seau was the ultimate team player. He was a powerful leader in the locker room and backed up his speeches with his play. The 12 time pro bowler came to the Patriots hoping to win a Super Bowl, but fell just short in 2007. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. A great player and a better man.

2. WR Jabar Gaffney Has Reportedly Accepted an Offer From the Patriots
According to Mike Reiss' twitter, Jabar Gaffney will be a Patriot next season, or at least offseason. There are now 13 (!) wide receivers on the roster. Gaffney and the recently signed Dante Stallworth were among the many receivers used in the Patriots deadly spread attack in 2007. Josh McDaniels seems to be bringing in receivers he has trusted in the past. Gaffney has had solid since leaving the Patriots. He had 68 receptions for 947 yards and 5 touchdowns last year with the Redskins. The major aspect Gaffney does not bring is youth. He turned 31 this past December.

EDIT: According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network it is a two year deal.
