Thanks for the comments. When I posted this Lynch was still an active member of the Broncos roster and had not made his desires public. Given Lynch’s desire to be a three down player, I’m not sure he’d work out. Though I’d be entirely willing to give him a try out to see. Given the showing our safeties made in the first half of the HoF game, I’m definitely hoping we are scanning the waiver wire this month.

Oh, and the history of injury doesn’t really bother me assuming he’s healthy now. A physical will easily determine that.

I agree. At the right price, Lynch might make sense. However these are my Comments and questions.

1. Wasn’t Lynch released by the Broncos? Hence the Skins shouldn’t have to give anything up except for a roster spot and a few bucks.

2. Lynch wanted out of Denver because he was going to be used in the box as you suggest… only on 1st downs (typical running play). I think he wants to play with a team that will make him a 3 down player. Not sure many teams will give him that.. and I think he would only make that compromise if he hazd a great chance of winning the super bowl (Playing for the Pats.

3. Lynch has a history of concussions and neck problems.

It’s not the worst idea in the world. It’s not like they are signing an over-priced, washing up vet to be in a starting role. Lynch would simply supply depth and support to a needed area….why not?

This would be a bonehead move that would be typical of this organizations front office. Frustrated redskin fans, like me, are sick and tired of dumb moves like this one would be. So could you please stop encouraging these things?

I really hate trading away draft picks for more aging veterans on their last legs, if only because it’ll encourage Danny to do it more often if it works. That said, a 7th rounder and minimum salary for Lynch assuming he’s healthy and fit would probably be a good deal.

Ron, Great site. I’ve added you to our links on the left column. I loved the Art Monk article. People should definitely check it out.

Eh, skeptical on this move. Hasn’t he been having a lot of concussions lately? Yea he would be the perfect In-the-box safety for us and just rotate him out in pass situations. I don’t think I see this one happening for us though.

Good idea, I’d support that…cheap veteran salary…we got 1.2 million in cap. Not sold on the current safeties.

Please link me if you can.
