Report: Patriots Sign John Lynch

Pro Football Talk is reporting that the Patriots have agreed to terms with safety John Lynch. Lynch, a nine-time Pro Bowler, could assume the role that the team was exploring for Tank Williams, who recently landed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Williams had been practicing at linebacker. At this stage of his career, Lynch probably is a better fit playing closer to the line of scrimmage. Besides, the team already has a Lynch-style safety in Rodney Harrison. If this is true, It would mean we'll have two of the hardest hitting safeties in the history of football on the same team. Maybe they aren't as quick as they used to be, but can still lay the smack down!
