Yahoo! News - Star Safety Lynch Leaving the Buccaneers
A little more than a year after helping the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl, John Lynch is through in Tampa Bay.

The star strong safety could not reach agreement with the team on a restructured contract. So the Bucs praised Lynch, then gave him permission to seek a new home.

"Everyone respects who he is and what he's brought to the game of football. But at this time we're going to move forward," Bucs general manager Bruce Allen said Thursday. "We decided the best way to move forward is allow him to talk to other teams and find a home that would be best for him and his family."
