Former Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu has visited with the Saints and Titans in an attempt to return to the NFL after sitting out last season, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports.

Tatupu, 29, was released by the Seahawks in July after he declined to take a pay cut. Coach Pete Carrol described it as a mutual parting of ways.

Tatupu was a second-round pick in 2005 and made the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons before a rash of injuries caused a steep decline in his play. He played in all 16 games in 2010, his last season with the Seahawks, but didn't appear to be fully healthy.

According to La Canfora, Tatupu met with New Orleans on Monday and Tennessee on Tuesday.

"He's too smart of a football player to be on the street if he's healthy, but if he's not healthy -- and clearly he wasn't last year -- then maybe he has to start thinking about another career," John Clayton told "The Kevin Calabro Show" on Tuesday. "Let's hope he [is healthy] because he's a really good player, a really good guy and he could help out New Orleans or whatever team that's going to be looking at him."
