A league source tells us that there are rumors on the NFL grapevine that Patriots defensive end Richard Seymour will miss the entire 2007 season.

Per the source, the talk is that offseason surgery on Seymour's left knee resulted in some significant complications.

Seymour is on the Physically Unable to Perform list, and by rule must stay there for at least six weeks of the regular season.

The procedure was described as arthroscopic, which is minimally invasive in nature. The type of complication currently is unknown.

A huge loss. Seymour is more important to the defense than Randy Moss is to the offense. You just can't replace a standout player like Richard Seymour. Wow! Big news.
