Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Paxton Lynch looked like a star when he was on the field against his former team on Thursday. Lynch took over from Geno Smith and commanded the second half of the game, throwing for 109 yards and a touchdown. Lynch's 11-for-15 performance garnered a lot of attention since it came against his former squad, but it was especially critical because he was viewed as trailing in the competition to be Seattle's backup QB this season. Since Smith struggled and Lynch excelled, expect this competition to go down to the wire.
Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch worked out with the Dolphins last week during their bye week. Although this does not have much fantasy relevance, it is an indication that quarterback Ryan Tannehill may be out with his shoulder injury for longer than expected. The Dolphins were hoping to get Tannehill back for Week 12 but reports indicate that it seems unlikely. Even if Lynch is signed to the Dolphins' 53-man roster, quarterback Brock Osweiler will remain the starter until Tannehill returns.
Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, a failed first-round pick for the Broncos, is working out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday, according to a source. Jameis Winston will take over the starting quarterback duties from journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick when the team comes out of their Week 5 bye. Lynch has been making the rounds ever since he was cut by the Broncos last month, but he's unlikely to land in Tampa.
The Jacksonville Jaguars worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running back Jeremy Langford and wide receiver Chad Hansen on Tuesday. Lynch, a failed first-round pick in Denver, has worked out for a handful of teams so far but has yet to latch on with anyone. The Jags already have Blake Bortles and Cody Kessler on their roster at the QB position.
Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, along with wide receiver Breshad Perriman, were among four or five players the Washington Redskins brought in for a workout on Monday. Lynch has garnered tryouts from several teams since being released by Denver prior to the start of the 2018 regular season. In five career games, the 2016 first-round draft choice has thrown for 794 yards along with four touchdowns and four interceptions. With Alex Smith entrenched as the starter and veteran Colt McCoy serving as the backup, the 'Skins don't need another quarterback taking up a spot on the 53-man roster. However, Lynch would be an interesting addition to the team's practice squad.
The Philadelphia Eagles worked out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch, running backs Fitzgerald Toussaint and Martez Carter and wide receivers Kamar Aiken, Breshad Perriman and Shane Wynn on Tuesday. With quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) still ailing, the Eagles are looking for some depth in those areas. None of these players would suddenly be fantasy relevant if they were to sign.
Free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch had a tryout with the Detroit Lions on Friday, according to a source. Lynch was a failed first-round pick with the Broncos in 2016 and was cut last weekend. The Lions are already set with veteran Matt Cassel backing up Matthew Stafford, so it's unlikely Detroit would add Lynch.
The Buffalo Bills will work out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch on Monday, according to sources. Lynch was a first-round bust for the Broncos in 2016 and has looked overwhelmed whenever he has stepped on an NFL field. He could become the team's No. 3 behind Nathan Peterman and rookie Josh Allen, though. Lynch is no longer a must-stash in dynasty formats.
Kevin Hogan Claimed On Waivers, Paxton Lynch Released
The Denver Broncos cut former first-round quarterback Paxton Lynch on Sunday after claiming quarterback Kevin Hogan off waivers from the Redskins. Lynch had been a first-round bust for the Broncos and fell to third on the depth chart in training camp behind Case Keenum and Chad Kelly. Lynch was 1-3 and went 79-for-128 for 792 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions in five appearances (four starts) for the Broncos.
Despite playing his best preseason game on Thursday against the Cardinals, Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch is on the outside looking in as the No. 3 QB behind Chad Kelly and Case Keenum. The former-first round pick is a candidate to be cut, but a team could also elect to trade for him if they still see something they like. Lynch's stock has fallen drastically in recent years, and he's no longer a must-stash in dynasty leagues, either.
