Speaking of aging LBer's, let's pause for a moment and reflect upon the stellar career of Monte Coleman.... okay! Now about "Say-ow": We don't require his services. having said that I'm not going to be upset if we sign him. We've done worse, way worse.
Sign him, Hopefully he won't be the next Bruce Smith. he can school young Rocky!

it'd be a good move. right now we have no one that's gauranteed to be all that great, though either clemons and mcintosh can HOPEFULLY get it done.
as a reserve he could be like ray brown for our LB corp.

At least he would give Salva'a some one to click with.
On a serious note, I really hope this isn't true because it just seems like the type of signing we would have made six or seven years ago. I hear the name "Deion" whispering in the wind when I read that we are possibly in talks with an old veteran who won't have any long term impact.
Deion, Bruce, Carrier et al were at the end of their careers but we paid em big. Just by the timing of this rumor its unlikely seau will get much if anything beyoned the minimum.
btw, Deion actually played above avg. here just not up to his past. If Seau can play that well, start an entire 16 game season, for vet. min. $, he would be a bargain. I don't think he's every down material at all, but he may be tough against the run. If GW thinks we need the depth, sign him cheap.

I'd be fine with the signing. He's been a great player, he has a ton of experience that will help with the development of our young players, he's unselfish, a team player like Gibbs wants and he'd have a chance to close out his career with a Super Bowl win with the Skins.
As long as he's not too expensive, I don't see any reason NOT to sign him.
Quality depth is never a bad thing.

Back then we would bring in these Vets and give them hugh 3 to 5 year contracts. Thats what we need to avoid doing again. If Gibbs and Company think they could bring him in for 1 yr small contract and they could get a value from him than I trust what they think. It would kind of be what we did with Ray Brown last year he was a mentor and when we need him he did his job well for us.

Is he a free agent? If he would go for vet minimum, it makes me wonder why the dolphins wouldn't pick him up themselves if he was even worth that...

I would not like the signing as it would just remind me of the 2000 signings. I know it would be a little different circumstancially, but I think its best if we let the guys develop. I think we have a good enough defense where if they make some mental mistakes, it wont KILL the team. Correct me if I'm wrong, but dosent Seau play inside linebacker?
