    The Broncos are expected to release FS John Lynch on Thursday, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

    The paper calls San Diego a possible suitor, but Lynch wouldn't get what he wants there: a job as a three-down starter. Lynch is 37 in September, but could still help somewhere as a box safety. Teams in need of a hitter include St. Louis, Washington, Philadelphia, and possibly the Jets. Houston is deep at safety, but may also have interest due to Lynch's ties with Gary Kubiak.

    Lynch would add some veteran play/leadership to a young secondary but at 37, you have to worry about who's gonna cover the deep ball since Faggins/Reeves has questionable coverage skills at best.

    I have to agree.. Great leadership and work ethic, but damn, that'll be like putting Roy Williams out there, and I love the Cowboys...

    I had heard he had a tv job lined up so its likely he is going to retire.

    I hope they pass on him. Good guy, solid work ethic, but do they really need another strong safety?

    Stop trying to bring in every Bronco that has been released.
