The Patriots on Monday re-signed 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker Junior Seau.
Terms were not disclosed.
Seau, 38, signed a one-year contract with the Patriots last August - four days after he announced his retirement as a member of the Chargers in an emotional speech in which he said he was "graduating."
Lured to New England by coach Bill Belichick in hopes of winning a Super Bowl, Seau played well for the Patriots before missing the final five games with a broken right forearm. He ranked fifth on the team with 69 tackles.
