FILE - In this Oct. 10, 2004, file photo, Miami Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler (9) is sacked by New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour (93) during first-quarter action of their AFC East conference game Sunday afternoon Oct. 10, 2004 in Foxborough, Mass. Chosen sixth overall in the NFL draft in 2001, Seymour is the highest selection ever made by Bill Belichick during his Patriots tenure. A member of New England’s first three Super Bowl-winning teams in the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons, Seymour was one of the most destructive forces on the defensive side of the ball for those teams.
