And release Jojuan Williams

I think this is a really solid under the radar move. Although Lynch has underachieved as a pass rusher ( I believe due to his man muscles slowed him down and bulked him up). He is solid against the run.  I would pencil him in as a starter if healthy in 5 man run heavy sets.

Just don't see it. May see time as a situational run stopper but could just as easily be a camp cut.

He flashed a few times on his 1st go round, but I think that was under Donatell. Could be he's a better fit for Flores. God knows, we don't have a lot of competition for him.

You had me at "release Joejuan Williams". Everything after that was gravy.

His familiarity with Flores from last year is a bonus, even though he suffered an injury during Training Camp and was a non-factor on the field all season. But let's be honest folks, even if he had a breakout season this year, he's never going to be an Aaron Donald, a Ndamukong Suh, a Chris Jones.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Most will never be Donald, Suh or Jones. Hopefully he can be serviceable in Flores scheme.
