While today will be remembered as the day New England traded Richard Seymour, it is also the day the Pats, and the NFL's 31 other teams, can establish practice squads, and there are a couple of reports on who is headed to New England's eight-man team.

Receiver Terrence Nunn and cornerback DeAngelo Willingham are the first two thus far; Nunn's signing was first reported by Mac's Football Blog and confirmed by the Boston Globe, while scout.com was first to tie Willingham to New England.

The Patriots are apparently quite intrigued by Willingham, who played college ball at Tennessee -- after the undrafted rookie was waived by Tampa Bay last week, New England put in a waiver claim, but he was awarded to Dallas, which had priority.
