Maybe Marshawn Lynch isn’t dead set on retirement after all. The running back – who hung up his cleats just days ago – would be open to a Raiders return if the team wants him back, Steve Wyche of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears.

A Lynch return made some degree of sense in the wake of Isaiah Crowell‘s (likely) season-ending injury. However, the Raiders moved fast on Wednesday by re-signing Doug Martin. Now, the Raiders running back room feels crowded once again with Martin, rookie Joshua Jacobs, Jalen Richard, Chris Warren III, and DeAndre Washington under contract.
But, even if he’s not a fit for the Raiders in 2019, one has to wonder whether Lynch would entertain the idea of playing elsewhere. The 33-year-old is certainly past his prime, but he has averaged a respectable 4.3 yards per carry for the Raiders over the last two years and would add toughness to any backfield.
For his career, Beast Mode owns five Pro Bowl nods, one First-Team All-Pro selection, and a Super Bowl ring.
Welp, here we go again.
He retired so he will play.
The Sugar Ray Leonard of the NFL?
exactly what i immediately said haha
I’d ask Marshawn to make up his mind, but I’ve honestly never been all that sure how much he’s actually in control of his own mind.
I would assume that he always has a spot on grudens team if he wants it
How much attention does this guy need?
I just hope he can make up his mind at some point…it’s not Brett Favre-esque but we’re getting there
He will teach using his degree lol, we know he talks like a forf grader
Bummer how much more wealth he will accumulate through his playing career and businesses compared to you talking like that huh? Can tell you’re salty
idiot
No one is salty. He’s merely pointing out the hilarious irony that pro athletes went to college and have degrees, yet can’t produce a comprehensible sentence.
May 19, 2029 – Marshawn Lynch left the door “slightly open” to return to NFL action, if he can find a team “that makes sense for me.” Lynch would be coming out of retirement for the eleventh consecutive season, believed to be an NFL record…
damn dude, for what?
let the Rook and Jalen have a chance
The Richard/Washington combo has never, and will never amount to anything. They are the same exact player, why do you need two?
Give Beast Mode a $1MM/1yr contract to sit on the sidelines and get some when the next guy gets hurt. Doug Martin isn’t a healthy lock and the rookie is just that.
Richard proved last year to be a legit receiving threat. Washington won’t make the team though
Judging by the picture, Marshawn would be well suited as Chief of Gatorade Security for the Raiders.
Why doesn’t anyone give Rodney Anderson from Oklahoma a chance. I know he is recovering from knee surgery. But someone should give him a chance.
You mean Rodney Anderson, the guy who suffered a bad neck injury his freshman season, a season-ending knee injury the next season, AND WHO WAS PICKED UP BY THE BENGELS A FEW DAYS AGO??
