You can't have that many "leaders", Seau would have to come in and take a back seat to the leaders who are already here. He'll have to fall in line.
Now that's not to say that he couldn't play the role of the good soldier. And he probably could teach Rocky a thing or two about offensive tendencies. But his skills are the main problem in my opinion. They're just too eroded at this point, and he's way too prone to injury. I'd rather see us focus on trying to develop the younger players. Junior Seau is definitely not going to be a difference maker for us this year in any way, shape, or form.

Good leader, absolutely.
Seau was wrecking this league before Marcus Washington graduated high school. If you're a linebacker, you KNOW who Junior Seau is and what he's done. Naturally, people will defer to him, seek him out, ask him questions and follow his lead. And really, would that be such a bad thing? It's not like he has a bad reputation.
Not sure about the skills being horribly eroded, but the injuries are a concern. I agree with you about that.
