John Lynch is available, should we make a move?

I don't think we should pick up Lynch to replace any of our guys, but rather, to mentor them. Our 4 safeties are very young guys, I think being around someone like Lynch would be a great influence.

Oh well thats different then, but at the same time I doubt that Lynch would accept a backup role especially considering that

1. He has a Super Bowl Ring
2. He's been a starter for over 10 years
3. He's financially secure
4. He's considering going into broadcasting, leading me to believe that he's ready to move on to life after football (unlike some people lol).

so even if the front office was willing to sign him, I doubt they get bring him in under those circumstances. And on top of that I don't know if he would accept a vet min type contract which I imagine is all we could offer him after the Jason Taylor trade. I know some might want to bring up Troy Vincent but I see John Lynch and Troy Vincent as two very different situations.

The safeties already have a mentor...meet him.

No need to pick up a twilight safety when the Skins have 2 competent safeties ready to rock and roll.
