Never mind that I never liked Lynch. Here’s what rotoworld.com has to say about him, via The Rocky Mountain News and I happen to agree:

The paper calls San Diego a possible suitor, but Lynch wouldn’t get what he wants there: a job as a three-down starter. Lynch is 37 in September, but could still help somewhere as a box safety. Teams in need of a hitter include St. Louis, Washington, Philadelphia, and possibly the Jets. Houston is deep at safety, but may also have interest due to Lynch’s ties with Gary Kubiak.

If Lynch wants to continue playing (which he may opt not to do anyhow), he’ll need to realize what he is: a two-down player. The Broncos had him ticketed for that role, and he didn’t like it. Lynch is no longer an effective cover safety.

Saints @ Tampa Bay is probably not a national game. I’ll be at my boss’s garage watching on one of his flat screens. He’s got NFL Sunday Ticket!!

I feel pretty good about Kaesviharn and Harper. Even as Yasinskas is suggesting the Saints pick him up, he’s acknowledging that Lynch “doesn’t have the physical skills he once did.” I don’t see any real advantage of acquiring Lynch and paying out whatever huge sum of $ he might demand. The Saints’ biggest problem last year was the D-line not getting enough pressure on opposing QB’s and cornerbacks who got exposed and victimized as a result. I like what they’ve so far done to address that problem and expect the defense to be much improved with the personnel adjustments they’ve already made.

I actually believe we will see a much improved secondary this year with the same players. I know Jason David got burned worse than Atlanta during the Civil war last year, but the lack of a pass rush had more to do with that than him being a poor player. If, and that is a big IF,the reports coming out of camp are accurate and the addition of Ellis and the coaching of coach O have this group playing as well as the reports say they are, the opposing QBs are going to have fits trying to find open receivers. You can have every star CB and safety in the league on the same defense but if the QB has all day to throw then receivers will come free and make big plays. At least that’s my opinion

If I remember correctly, Lynch’s biggest problem with Denver was that he wasn’t a featured back. I cannot see Lynch having a primary role in our defense. I think KK will own at that position and I like Harper. I think Lynch’s experience will help our young squad, but I can’t see him being happy in our defense.

We have enough problems covering the pass to bring in an aging vet who was released for that reason. Every secondary could use a hitter like he was in his prime, but Lynch’s best days are behind him. If our DB’s watched tape of him and got fired up to hit somebody, that would be okay. He may want to consider coaching at this stage of his career.
