Nice! He is old but is an upgrade over Tank.

Boy I disgree. He looked ancient in Denver last year. I was hoping he'd go on speed dial in case Rodney or Sanders got seriously hurt.

That being said, maybe he can be a LB/S hybrid, but I doubt he's even fast enough to be a coverage linebacker any more.

I know he fought through some injuries last season, might've been a factor. He's still really good against the run. They can find a use for him. It would certainly be ideal though if he could fill what would have been Tank's role.

Thread prediction...

Homers "Nice! Lynch is going to be a GREAT fit here. Belichick will use him in some genius way that will showcase all of good qualities, while hiding all of his weakness's!! "

:disagreement:

Non-Homer's - "This is a waste of a roster spot. Lynch is old, slow, and well past his prime. I thought we were trying to get younger!"
