Richard Seymour says "no way" to New England Patriots return

Former New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour has said that there is "no way" he would return to the club.

The 33-year-old is a free agent after being released by the Oakland Raiders at the end of last season.

His name was touted with a return to Bill Belichick's side, after leaving the club in 2009 when he was traded to the Raiders for a first-round pick in the 2011 Draft, in light of a season-ending injury to Vince Wilfork.

However, he has quickly denied any idea of linking up with his old team, telling the Boston Herald, when asked if he would consider a return: "No way."

The Patriots are 4-0 in their season after week four.
