Patriots hosting John Lynch
Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff August 13, 2008 11:58 AM
The Patriots are hosting free-agent safety John Lynch on a visit at Gillette Stadium today.

The 36-year-old Lynch, a nine-time Pro Bowler and one of the grittier, more durable safeties to play in the NFL, was released by the Broncos on Aug. 1.

This isn’t the first time the Patriots have expressed an interest in Lynch.

When Lynch was a free agent in 2004, the Patriots visited with him before he signed with the Broncos.

The potential addition of Lynch could lessen the blow of losing Tank Williams to a season-ending knee injury.

So, who was right? Finally, one of those "so and so got cut, let's grab him" threads gets at least a hint of street cred.

It seems like this would be a good match, seeing as how we're not asking him to play a traditional safety role.

Tremendously solid player, injury free he could be a good signing for this season.

We could potentially have the oldest pair of safeties ever. Now, we need to re-sign Seau just to have all those old guys out there together.

Me too, mea culpa (maybe).

So if this goes down, two questions:

1) Does Lynch cause pregame bedwetting for other teams like Rodney?

2) Who's losing a job? Or is it just a Tank out, Lynch in kind of thing?

Oh, and this solidifies the fact that Dom is very much in the conversation of roster needs, imo.
