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.

I met Jr. a few times...nice guy and his Sports Restaurant in San Diego is one of the best of its kind in the Country! For anyone visiting San Diego, I would definitely recommend it! (My friend helped design it!).
Looks like he may get one more shot at a ring as a situational linebacker in New England, filling a role that in the recent past has been done by Brian Cox and Roman Phifer.
yes it does appear that a deal is in the works.....
Ah...North County....Vista guy here.
