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.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
