FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)—Junior Seau(notes) is back with the New England Patriots, coming out of retirement for a third time to sign a contract Tuesday for a 20th season as an NFL linebacker.
The signing of the 12-time Pro Bowl player was announced by Versus, the television network on which Seau has a show. The Patriots have not announced the signing, which had been expected, although the team said he had a physical and a workout last week.
“I hope at some point he will be” with the Patriots, club owner Robert Kraft said at the NFL owners meeting in Boston. “He’s a unique individual. I’d love to have him part of our team for as long as he wants to.”
Seau, 40, should have a better chance of standing up to running backs than he did to a rodeo bull, which knocked him down on one of the episodes of “Sports Jobs with Junior Seau.”

Not sure why they are re-signing a such an old player. The only thing that pops in my mind it's because Seau is familiar with the scheme over there.
