Harrison and Lynch......will anyone dare cross the middle of the field? I think not.

Mike,
I have mixed feeling about this deal given his age and injury problems. We've seen a lot of older vets not hold up through a full season. Plus it also means that we'll eventually have to cut a promising younger player for the 53 man squad to make room for Lynch.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think this guy can't play any more. Strictly a situational guy, hide him, and hope for the best. Is Starks next??

A pretty discouraging move, when you consider that "younger and faster" is where the Pats D seemed to heading.

John Lynch is a liar.
Thanks for stabbing Broncos fans in the back.

Be a man and tell the truth. You left Denver because you wanted to be an every-down player. Now you go to New England where you won't be an every-down player. Good luck to the Patriots, but I hope Lynch blows his knee out.

Lynch is the man. Even though he is not as fast as he was 5 years ago, he can stil hit and has great leadership qualities. This is a good move for the Pats.

Lynch is the man. We had the great pleasure of having him as a Buc for 11 seasons. Letting him leave was the stupidiest thing the Bucs have done. I hope he does well in NE. The Broncos will struggle to be .500 this year and are a joke. The man wants another ring and he has the best chance with Brady and the Patriots
