Though it had been reported that Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch had been “blowing off” new head coach Jon Gruden, the veteran back’s agent Doug Hendrickson dispelled those rumors on Twitter on Friday. 
Hendrickson tweeted: “To all the couch potato non verified media ppl speaking on Marshawn Lynch-get a real job and check sources! #beastmode.” The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Michael Gehlken confirmed as much with his sources (Twitter link).
Lynch is signed through the 2018 and possesses a cap number of $6 MM. Though some have speculated the pair might butt heads, it appears the two are working to find a fit for the running back in the team’s new system.
After a year away from football, Lynch returned to the gridiron with the Raiders and produced 891 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 207 carries. Though Oakland suffered a disappointing campaign, the five-time Pro Bowl back proved he had plenty left in the tank.
Marshawn’s paying career has past. Easy to predict a season ending injury turning into a permanent retirement. GJ
4.3 yards a carry says otherwise.
Not a fan of Thugmode. Sure he may have a little left in the tank but I would never want him on my team. Just another selfish clown that does not respect the privilege it is to play in the NFL. Every since his ghetto fabulous press conference in Seattle a few years back it’s prevalent the POS he is. The man is so disrespectful to the game.
Nah, he just keeps it real. Calling him ghetto and a POS is pretty classless. People who live in glass houses…
Please Name the Charities that you contribute to that helps underprivileged kids. I’ll wait.
The decision to donate consistently to charities is easier to make when your annual salary is that of a pro athlete.
Plenty of ordinary people donate to charities. Try again
My charities are my business .. and yes they do exist. I wonder if he wasn’t grossly overpaid if that would still happen. It still doesn’t change his terrible self righteousness influence he has on kids these days. It’s not just him. It’s not ok the way these players today totally disrespect the game.
Don’t WATCH! You sound like a no talent, jealous idiot. Period
Why would I not watch? I enjoy football. That doesn’t mean I’m going to agree and support idiots like thugmode. Almost every sport has this problem. Look, this is all my opinion , you have yours.
How long has he been paying?
GoldenJabs … aka “The moron”
POS
That was an agent’s statement? Wow… class acts all around.
Lol. #BeastmodesAgent
No team wants a player that doesn’t respect the league or the sport itself. Marshawn’s sticking around on borrowed time and is fading away fast.
Your comment isn’t complete without your initials at the end like your first comment. C’mon man, be consistent
Ooh. Golden jab right there, brah.
GJ…Idiot!!!
Who cares about respect for the league or Goodell? The league clearly does not care for the players that make the owners and other clowns money. Looks like we see which side you are on.
