Pats Cut Lynch, WR Jackson
31st August, 2008 - 4:43 pm
NFL.com - The Patriots have released safety John Lynch and wide receiver Chad Jackson, according to NFL.com.

New England signed Lynch a little more than two weeks ago, and Bill Belichick has left open the possibilty of adding him to the roster later in the season.

"It goes without saying but John is an all-time great safety, one of the league's classiest professionals and his elite play speaks for itself," Belichick said. "As has been the case in other situations, I would not rule anything out down the road."

Lynch, a nine-time Pro Bowler, has been released twice this year.

"I have no regrets about my time thus far with the Patriots," Lynch said. "The immense respect that I've long held for the organization has been only heightened over the past couple of weeks. I am going to keep all options open and look forward with excitement to see what the future brings." [READ]
