Running backs aren’t a highly valued commodity in the NFL anymore, so it will be interesting to see how the Seattle Seahawks proceed with the future of star tailback, Marshawn Lynch.
ESPN NFL Insider, John Clayton appeared on SportsCenter and discussed some interesting salary cap issues that will face teams at the end of this upcoming season. One such dilemma could see the Seahawks having to determine if Marshawn Lynch is worth paying in 2015.
Lynch will turn 29 years old next offseason and is owed $7.5 million in total compensation — none of which is guaranteed. Before then, the Seahawks will be handing out hefty extensions to core youngsters such as Russell Wilson, Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman. It will be an unpopular, but not overly difficult decision for the Seahawks to move on from Lynch as they can hand the reins to Christine Michael and save a ton of cash in the process.
