Report: Raiders, Seahawks agree to terms on Marshawn Lynch trade

[cigaretteman]

Marshawn Lynch appears set to become a member of the Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders have agreed with the Seattle Seahawks to a trade involving later-round draft picks in 2018 for the NFL rights to the retired running back, according to a report on NFL.com.


Lynch, 31, retired after the 2015 season. He still needs to pass a physical for the Raiders, which he is expected to take Wednesday.

The five-time Pro Bowler is returning from Haiti, where he and his former Seahawks teammates Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett have been helping to build houses and schools.

The Seahawks, who would have owed Lynch $9 million if he played for them this season, gave him permission to speak to the Raiders, who will play in his hometown Oakland for at least the next two seasons before a scheduled move to Las Vegas in 2020.

Lynch and the Raiders reportedly agreed to terms for a 2017 contract earlier this month.

Reggie is breaking his own rules here...I hope it pays off. I know $3Mil isn't a lot for a great RB but with his medical history and age I hope this works out. Maybe a year off allowed him to heal up enough to be the old beast mode for a year (or two).
