John Terrence Lynch Jr. (born September 25, 1971) is an American football executive and former strong safety who is the current general manager of the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Stanford University, and was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third round of the 1993 NFL Draft.

A nine-time Pro Bowl selection, Lynch earned a Super Bowl ring with the Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII. Lynch was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2021. He also spent four seasons with the Denver Broncos before retiring in 2008. After the end of his playing career, Lynch worked in the broadcasting booth as a color commentator for NFL on Fox games and remained doing so until his hiring as general manager of the 49ers in 2017.

Early years

Lynch was born in Hinsdale, Illinois. He attended Torrey Pines High School in the Carmel Valley/Del Mar area of San Diego, California, where he played football, baseball, and basketball.

On March 22, 2004, the Denver Broncos signed Lynch to a three-year, $9 million contract as an unrestricted free agent.[54][55] He signed a free agent contract with the Broncos despite being courted by the two-time defending Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.[56] Lynch also received an offer from the New York Jets, but opted not to reunite with head coach Herm Edwards who has previously been his defensive backs coach with the Buccaneers.

In the 2005 season, Lynch nearly made his second Super Bowl after the Broncos defeated the Patriots in the Divisional Round, but they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship Game.

Lynch served as the Broncos' defensive captain in 2006 and 2007. On July 31, 2008, he was granted his release by the Broncos.[57] Lynch said in a news conference that his lack of playing time heading into this season was a reason for his departure.

New England Patriots

Lynch visited with the New England Patriots on August 13, 2008,[59] then agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.[60] However, on September 1, 2008, he was released.

Retirement

On November 17, 2008, Lynch announced his retirement from football.
