FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)—John Lynch, the nine-time Pro Bowl safety signed by New England two weeks ago, was released Sunday. “It goes without saying but John is an all-time great safety, one of the league’s classiest professionals and his elite play speaks for itself,” coach Bill Belichick said of Lynch, who turns 37 on Sept. 25. “As has been the case in other situations, I would not rule anything out down the road.” During their decade-long run of success, the Patriots have regularly signed veterans and often released them, only to sign them again if needed. Belichick’s comments indicate Lynch may be in that category. He has played 15 seasons, 11 in Tampa Bay and four in Denver. “I have no regrets about my time thus far with the Patriots,” Lynch said in a statement released by the club. “The immense respect that I’ve long held for the organization has been only heightened over the past couple of weeks. I am going to keep all options open and look forward with excitement to see what the future brings.” New England signed Lynch after he was released by Denver early in training camp. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_y...B?slug=ap-patriots-lynchcut&prov=ap&type=lgns
He might be back. The guy has stayed in shape and flat out play. Look for a team with an early injury to give him a call.
They say it was just to save some money and it seems like John doesn't mind the move as he will be back.
