The Broncos reached a three-year, $9 million agreement with former Bucs safety John Lynch.


Included in the deal is a $2.5 million signing bonus.



Lynch


Lynch, 32, took the weekend to think about his opportunities and was even considering a trip to the Oakland Raiders, who signed former teammate Warren Sapp on Saturday. But he decided to go to the Broncos over the Jets when the Broncos came up to $3 million a season.


It was a tough choice to not go to the Jets. Lynch is the godfather of coach Herman Edwards' only child and he is very tight with the Jets coach.


The Broncos had a busy Monday. Along with signing Lynch, the Broncos signed former Chargers defensive end Raylee Johnson to a three-year, $3.3 million deal that included a $1 million signing bonus and former Lions defensive tackle Luther Elliss.


The timing of Lynch's agreement was interesting. He accepted his deal with the Broncos close to the time of a Raiders press conference involving Sapp.


Sapp, Lynch and linebacker Derrick Brooks turned what Sapp called a doormat into a powerhouse.


Lynch played 11 seasons with the Bucs. His specialty was leadership and hard-hitting.


He played last season with a neck problem. Two weeks ago, he was cleared by the doctor to play. He had bone spurs in the neck.

Improving the secondary but losing Portis is HUGE

Law still has two years left on his contract. He'll play with the Patriots next year... Not every pampered athlete is going to be able to stomp and cry on the ground until they get thing their way... I'm sure Ty will see it as "audition"ing for the other 31 teams in the NFL...

penny, the only way Law would be able to not play with the Pats is if he retired or just pulled a Glenn and didnt show for practices until BB got fed up. But Law isnt like that. He will be here for 2 more years unless they get a good offer for him. And it would need to be good since he is so good. Also I think that by the end of his contract the differences will be over and he will sign the years left in his NFL career
