Here we go again. Marshawn Lynch, reportedly, is pondering a comeback and the Raiders are thinking about acquiring him. At the moment, however, the Seahawks are still in control of his rights. 
A few things have to go down before the long-rumored Lynch-to-Oakland rumors can come to fruition, but it all starts with the running back himself. Lynch is in a bit of a holding pattern and is still deciding whether he wants to come back, Mike Garafolo of NFL.com tweets. Lynch does in fact have the itch to play though and is already in shape. Interestingly, Garafolo hears (Twitter link) that Lynch stopped by the Seahawks’ facility, but it “was more of a personal visit than anything.”
Lynch’s contract called for him to earn $9MM in 2016 and that would be his default salary for this season if he were to return. The Seahawks won’t have room for him with Eddie Lacy, C.J. Prosise, and Thomas Rawls already on the roster and it’s not clear if the Raiders will be willing to pay that salary. Oakland is looking to extend Derek Carr and Khalil Mack in the near future and that kind of addition could limit them financially.

Attention whore, just stay retired!
lol another Favre
He’s is the opposite actually he doesn’t talk to that media when he’s supposed to or anything.
Has Lynch publicly said anything? Nope.
you suck
Very interesting that he waited for the Seahawks to sign a rb before announcing his intentions…allegedly
Numerous Oakland fans trying to say Sean Smith and a first round pick for Lynch and Sherman. Dam you all that desperate? Lol
Why on earth would they do that? They are better off giving up a middle round pick for just Lynch
No way Seahawks give up just a mid round for Lynch. IMO they should. But they won’t.
I mean, do they have the cap space to keep him if he comes back? If they don’t, they would almost have to take whatever they can get for him, otherwise just cut him and get nothing for him…
Go to the Texans
The jags are the retirement home of the NFL good place for a one down back his back problem won’t let him be a three down back
If Lynch is willing to come back and Oakland wants him I think they will ask for at least a 3rd rounder from Oakland
Word on the street is that he’s packed on a few pounds…so would that make him Yeast Mode now? Just wondering…
