John Lynch Retires 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Sat Nov 15, 2008 2:28 am

Big-hitting safety John Lynch’s crunching collisions are over.

Lynch has decided to retire, officially ending his career with a news conference Monday in Tampa, Fla.

The 37-year-old was a nine-time Pro Bowler for Denver and Tampa Bay, finishing with 1,277 tackles, 100 pass breakups and 26 interceptions in 224 regular-season games.

He departed Denver on good terms in July after being bumped from his starting role and signed with the Patriots. He was cut two weeks later and has been out of the game since.

“Just everything you’d want in a player,” Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said Friday after hearing about Lynch’s retirement. “He set an example on how to be a pro.”

Lynch made it known that there was a price to pay for coming over the middle — a painful pounding.
