Lil Bit Special Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3511880 Longtime star safety John Lynch is leaving the Denver Broncos. Lynch The likely Pro Football Hall of Famer made his decision this afternoon after pondering his future for the past 24 hours. Lynch, who will turn 37 in September, confirmed his departure to Denver television station KCNC. Lynch appears on a show with the station. He told the station he will consider his options both inside and outside of football. Lynch has aspirations to do television work after his playing days. The 16-season veteran is leaving the Broncos, two sources close to the situation said, because he is unhappy with his role. He has been working with the first-team defense in the first week of training camp but not in nickel and dime defensive packages. He has admitted that not playing significantly bothered him. Lynch nearly retired this winter but he came back to the team when Denver owner Pat Bowlen urged him to return. Last week, Denver coach Mike Shanahan said Lynch had no guarantees to play. Lynch missed a team meeting Tuesday night and didn't practice Wednesday. Shanahan said Lynch was excused from practice for personal reasons. The Broncos have not commented on Lynch's departure. Lynch has made nine Pro Bowls overall and all four years he was in Denver. Lynch spent his first 11 NFL seasons in Tampa Bay where he was a key figure in the team's Super Bowl win in January 2003. He was released by Tampa Bay after the 2003 season in which he had neck surgery. Lynch came to Denver and made an immediate impact on the Broncos defense and in the Denver community, as he had in Tampa Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
