SAN DIEGO -- Junior Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker who played with the San Diego Chargers and the Miami Dolphins during a 16-year NFL career, will announce his retirement Monday.
Seau will make the announcement at a news conference at Chargers Park on Monday afternoon, the team said in a statement Sunday.
The 37-year-old Seau spent the past three seasons with Miami after being acquired from San Diego.
He was released by the Dolphins in March after missing 17 games the past two years due to injury. He finished both seasons on injured reserve, and an Achilles' tendon injury limited him to seven games in 2005. Seau ended the 2004 season on injured reserve because of a torn pectoral muscle.

Junior is a class act. Assume he still is an Oceanside guy.

The 37-year-old Seau spent the past three seasons with Miami after being acquired from San Diego. He should have hung it up three years ago.

When he was traded, he had one REALLY good year left in him, which was his first in Miami.
But I agree, he should've hung it up at 35.

well I think he wanted a Super Bowl.
Miami looked like a good idea at the time I'm sure.

Too bad he's not a few years younger. It's a really good time now that the coach's name isn't Wannstedt.

Seriously, though, I think it's entirely probable that this year, one of the teams in the Super Bowl will have home field advantage.
