i say sign him, what do we got to lose

#1dolphinsfan · 07-30-2008, 11:00 PM

He would teach jason allen very good

Mac1 · 07-30-2008, 11:54 PM

No we don't need him. John Lynch is that guy on the field that knows the play is going deep but still gets beat deep anyways because he's too slow.

Um.....why entertain Carter or Glenn, it seems both are possibilities, it either of those rumors are true then I say yes to Lynch too.

If he doesn't have anything left then release him.

thevegasphinfan · 07-31-2008, 02:25 AM

I may be wrong but I think HE walked away, meaning he is still under contract w/the donks. Unless Shanahan releases him I would not be willing to give anything up for thids guy.

LtDan · 07-31-2008, 04:48 AM

No thanks....he is like a hundred years old

Canadianfishfan · 07-31-2008, 07:01 AM

All these old broken down players... jeez! Just say NO Bill.

^^That was my friend Josh, who follows the Broncos as a second religion.

Lynch asked for his release because he was promised by Mike Shanahan that if he took a massive paycut, he would be allowed to compete in all situations. With the upcoming of Hamzah Abdullah at saftey, Lynch was held out of nickel and dime drills, which prompted his request for a release. If you guys are worried about Glenn having issues staying healthy, Lynch has had a history of neck injuries resulting from his hard-hitting ways. He sat out a few games last year because of a pinched nerve in his neck that almost scared him into retirement. He's a great player that is past his prime. I wouldn't do it.

As much as I don't want to believe this, I also think it's the truth.

Lynch is a standup guy though. I met him in SD While I was valeting at the US Grant Hotel for St. Patrick's Day. He chatted with me for a couple of minutes. I congratulated him on the SB win, and told him I was a Dolfan from S FL. He was totally cool, I wish him the best.

Safety is probably the one position that we have good numbers in, so signing a 35+ year old player doesnt really make much sense when he would cancel playing time for one of the younger guys.

No doubt about it Lynch has had a great career and is a model pro, I just think with the numbers we have a Safety signing Lynch would not make much sense when we are alot thinner in other postitions

BeatMan · 07-31-2008, 08:09 AM

Quite happy with Allen and bell

Rich · 07-31-2008, 08:24 AM

Lynch will be 37 in 2 months. That's pretty old for a safety (who has to run fast on every play). It must be noted that Lynch has 9 pro-bowls under his belt.

However, 37-year-olds don't get signed until injuries on a team with no depth happen. If Allen or Bell get injured, signing Lynch would be fine with me (At 37, he's still better than Cameron Worrell).

A valuable roster spot.

I don't agree with either one of those either.
