The Pats apparently released John Lynch today after agreeing on a deal with him a few weeks ago.  I didn't get to watch but a few minutes of the TB-Pats game and certainly haven't watched any other Patriot preseason games, but he must have been more than half a step slower than the rest of the Pats DB's to cut him after committing to a salary with him.  The team will be trotting out Rodney Harrison and James Sanders for Week 1 and is reportedly interested in possibly bringing Lynch back in at a later time.  Yes, Lynch, who will turn 37 in a few weeks, is at the twilight of his career, but some team looking for an aggressive, hard hitting safety who can fit into blitz and run support packages might not give the Patriots the chance to do that.
