In the daytime drama series, What Will BEASTMODE Do Next?, we find ourselves glued to the happenings between Marshawn Lynch and the head honchos in the Seahawks front office. With the impending salary of $5 million next season, the Seahawks brass are looking to move the Skittles aficionado after this season. Knowing that, Lynch is thinking of hanging it up, however, if Seahawks offensive line coach and former Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable gets another head coaching gig elsewhere, Lynch is on-board.
Ian Rapoport of NFL.com says:
According to sources with direct knowledge of Lynch’s thinking, the 28-year-old is weighing the possibility of retiring after this year, saying goodbye to football on his owns terms. He’d leave the football world confused and wanting more, though that’s what he often does.
Several sources have previously said the Seahawks are expected to part ways with Lynch after this year, thanks to a combination of his $5 million salary in 2015, his age, and their desire to rework the locker room around quarterback Russell Wilson. Yet Lynch might throw them a curveball, exiting when he feels like it.
One caveat is, if Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable gets a head-coaching job, Lynch could follow him wherever he lands. That speaks to the strong relationship they’ve built.
