Seau underwent shoulder surgery after Super Bowl

Junior Seau told the Associated Press today that he had arthroscopic surgery on his left rotator cuff just days after the Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl.

Seau said he was hurt in the fourth game of the season, in Cincinnati, but played the season in pain. He never appeared on the Patriots' injury report this season.

"There's no grace time there," he said. "I was caught in a wrong position. I just fell on it awkwardly. I felt it and it didn't recover. So I had to deal with it. Every player has an injury during the course of the year. In order to get through it, you have to persevere. No 1, you have to make sure you're not a liability. Obviously that was not the case."

The 39-year old Seau becomes a free agent at midnight, and is still deciding whether he will return for a 19th NFL season.

"I have a choice of playing or a choice of surfing. Those are great choices to have," Seau said.

Wright: Second-round tender

The deadline to for teams to tender restricted free agents passed at 4 p.m., and New England tendered defensive lineman Mike Wright at the second-round level, meaning he has a one-year, $1.41 million deal with the team (unless the sides work out an extension) -- or, if another team offers Wright a contract that the Patriots decide not to match, that team must surrender its second-round pick to the Pats.

Wright joined New England as an undrafted rookie, making it difficult to tender him at the "low" level. Players given that designation receive $927,000, but if another team signs the player, his original team receives a draft pick equal to the round the player was originally selected in. Since Wright was undrafted out of Cincinnati, the Patriots would receive nothing in return.

The 25-year old Cincinnati native finished last season on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury against Pittsburgh.
