Lynch was cut Saturday by the Patriots. Maybe Derrick Brooks has a suggestion.

The Bucs are trying desperately to sell tickets, and future Hall of Famer John Lynch was cut by the Patriots on Saturday.

Would a Lynch return to Tampa fire up demand for tickets?

You could sure argue that Lynch would be more valuable on the field than rookie quarterback Josh Johnson, No. 4 on the depth chart. (We all know he won’t take a meaningful snap.)

Joe’s sources say Lynch doesn’t like Gruden. But maybe some prodding from Monte Kiffin and Derrick Brooks would lure him to Tampa?

If the Glazers are serious about selling tickets, then Mr. Lynch might get the phones ringing.
