Most people won’t believe it until it happens, but could Marshawn Lynch really pull a Jim Brown and walk away from the game at a dominant level?
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the Seahawks star running back is seriously considering walking away from the game.
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.
Lynch could also land with offensive line coach Tom Cable, if he happens to land a head coaching job around the league.
