Ex-Pat Lynch speaks

Safety John Lynch, released by the Patriots [team stats] before the season, said he hasn’t officially retired, but sounded prepared for the fact that he may have played his last game.

“The longer I’m obviously away from playing the more it’s looking like that may be it,” Lynch said at a fund-raiser in Greenwood Village, Colo. “If that’s the way I’m going I’m completely fine with it. I’ve had 15 wonderful years.”

Lynch said he is staying in shape and would be interested in the right situation, but he isn’t seeking it out.
