I don't know how much to read into this sports reporter but he allegedly says a guy he knows with info regarding NE says Lynch was cut today to end his guaranteed salary 1.5M contract and the team is taking a risk that Lynch will still be around next week as to offer a 1 year contract probably lower and with no guarantee at that time - That is if the Jets are not opt to sign him before then

Its this is true,its pretty risky if you ask me and even if he is still around by then will he agree to play for vet minimum which is what I think will be on the table as the offer to him if no one is interested in Lynch by next weekend

The other tidbit in this article is that the Patriots may be trying to

free up money to get a cornerback.

While there is a risk he'll sign with another team, why would Lynch, at this stage of his career, want to play for the Jets if the Patriots are willing to re-sign him. I would think that playing for a class organization with a shot at the Super Bowl would be enticement enough.

He can be picked up by any team on waivers WILLING TO PAY HIS CONTRACT. Once he clears waivers, he becomes a free ageent, right? Can sign wiht the team of his choice....

Well, there's one CB out there I can think of who is a free agent, has reportedly been talking to a few teams, one of them NE, and could be expected to play in BB's defensive scheme without the benefit of training camp...

...but then, it really doesn't seem at all like BB to jump through these kind of hoops to meet the contract demands of a cranky veteran FA a week before the season starts.

My guess is they need $$$ to sign Law and another CB. To think they play KC with just 4 corners is crazy. One or two hammie pulls and you are in deep trouble.

They released Jackson to free up money but to also give him a week to find a new team instead of cutting him after week 1. They may have even kept him with a trade in the works but it fell through, who knows.

They can cut CJ Jones after the KC game and then put him on the PS.

It was rumored earlier..could happen...really..I hope he's back..but..there are many moving parts... with injuries and such..roster management is not easy..NOT ready to jump off teh bridge like so many..

Lynch is a UFA, so he doesn't go through waivers right now. He can sign any contract with anyone. [If he were cut after the trading deadline, though, he would have to clear waivers.]

As a veteran, Lynch does not go through waivers. He can choose his destination, and both his and BB's phrasing made it sound like he's likely to be back.
