During a live chat on NFL.com yesterday evening, former Patriots outside linebacker Willie McGinest hinted at a possible return to the New England Patriots. A couple of snippets:
I enjoyed my run there. Don’t count me out, I might spend my last year in New England. We will see.
And:
All I can say is that it has to be the right team and the right situation, Parkar. And the Patriots are on that list. You are asking some good questions, why don’t you call Robert Craft for me and get that deal done.
Clearly, Willie McGinest seems inticed about the opportunity to play for the Patriots again. The question is, will the Patriots take him back?
McGinest is 37, and has slowed down a lot. He only had one sack last season in 14 starts, and is vulnerable in coverage. However, he is still in great shape, and could play a great role as a veteran leader on the defense. He has the toughness and smarts to help out the Patriots.
Plus, I always like having those three time Super Bowl winners around. What’s your take?

Bring back the legend! He would be great in the locker room and I’m betting he’s got one or two more huge plays in him in crunch time.
