Seahawks and Raiders working out a trade for Marshawn Lynch

Let's not forget Lynch is a year removed from football.  The last year he played, he was quite banged up and had very little impact (7 games played for 417 yards).  This is not the same Marshawn Lynch that Seattle rode for a nice four year stretch.  He might surprise some folks, but a soon to be 31 year old with a recent past of injuries, doesn't seem like the optimal player to be trading for.

This. I wouldn't be giving up much if I was the Raiders.

i doubt they will have to give up more than a mid - late round pick.  Seattle is already cashed strapped and the moment Lynch is re-instated he has a $9+ million cap hit.  I think they are only like $9.5 mil under the cap currently, barely enough to sign draft picks.

so, Seattle will no leverage in this deal.  they either have to trade or cut him right away just to free up the cash they were expecting to have.

Yep, I'm expecting a late round conditional pick. Which is about all a 31 year old RB a year removed from football is worth no matter what his name is.

I'll remind you a bag of sticks would block better than Seattle's o-line.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
