seahawks have no leverage for a trade. he will be released if he comes back and then sign with Raiders

Perfect !! I think it is awesome & Pete Carroll understands that . The Raiders are in Oakland for 2 more years . Would be so fitting for him to win a Super Bowl with Oakland !!!

I was on The Bart when Marshaun was going to be traded from The Bills & a gal & guy seemed to know what was going on before it even went down. He Represent OAK-Town !!

He Lives in Richmond across The Bay !! Just down(up) from Bezerkly !!

This is a must !! Oakland just named the field Rickey Henderson field 2 nights ago against The Halos !! It is a ( Colosseum ) baseball field & The Raiders needed to move on. Just give The Fans there home town guy to help finish this Run they may have ?? D. Carr a No Cal(Fresno State) guy) . IMHO -- also F- The Niners !!

If he hasn't stayed in shape given his age (31) and style of rushing I don't think it will work out well.

Who cares? A has-been running back going to a team other than the Rams. This isn't news.

John Schneider: Marshawn Lynch talks with Raiders will go smoothly

Talk of running back Marshawn Lynch returning to the NFL with the Raiders has been percolating for a while now and things took a big step forward on Wednesday with Lynch visiting the team to reportedly tell them that he wants to play in Oakland.

Making that happen isn’t as simple as just signing a contract. The Seahawks hold the running back’s rights and would have to trade him to the Raiders or release him in order to get Lynch into silver and black.

During an appearance on ESPN 710 in Seattle on Wednesday afternoon, Seahawks General Manager John Schneider confirmed Lynch only wants to play for the Raiders and said his relationship with Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie — the two men shared an office with the Packers earlier in their careers — would make for easy talks.

“It’s one that will go in a smooth manner because of our relationship,” Schneider said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

When and if Lynch submits reinstatement papers with the league, he’ll immediately count for $9 million under the Seahawks’ salary cap and that’s not a number the Seahawks could easily carry right now. That should go along with the relationship between the two executives as reason to believe that things would play out sooner rather than later to get Lynch on Oakland’s roster.

I always felt the seahawks did Marshawn bad.....I mean...it was way too...political....wanted Russell to throw the TD pass, instead of having Lynch to score....So, letting him play for his hometown team is only right.

No fires or Rioting , just a cool Azz celebration . Then The Rams repeat a year or to later doing it in there brand stadium .
To top it off go to Vegas & beat the Raiders in there own stadium for a 3 peat !!

Lynch was an elite RB but all runners of his style have a short shelf-life that usually ends around 30. Then again, Frank Gore is still around so maybe it will work out.

He'll probably sign a two year contract. Until the Raiders leave Oakland for Vegas!!

Marshawn Lynch deal to Oakland is done, pending physical

The Raiders had a deadline, and Marshawn Lynch has apparently met it.

According to the NFL Network, the deal between the veteran running back, the Raiders and the Seahawks will be finished by the end of the day.

Lynch has agreed to a new one-year deal with Oakland, and the teams have already agreed on the details of a trade, which will involve a swap of late-round draft picks in 2018.

The deal will pay Lynch a base of $3 million, with the chance to make $2 million more if he gains 1,000 yards, with a maxed-out value of $8.5 million.

That sends Lynch out of retirement and back to his hometown team, in time to do some PR work and perhaps run the ball from time to time for a team that needed a back after Latavius Murray left in free agency. General Manager Reggie McKenzie said he needed to know what Lynch was going to do before the draft, so he could make other plans this week if he wasn’t coming home.

Lynch will still need to pass a physical, and he’s heading to the Bay Area to do that after returning from a trip to Haiti.

Seahawks and Raiders flip 2016 fifth- and sixth-rounders for Lynch
Posted by Darin Gantt on April 26, 2017

Because of the relationship between the General Managers involved in the soon-to-be-finished Marshawn Lynch deal and the urgencies each side felt, the compensation didn’t figure to be complicated or excessive.

And it’s not.

According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the Seahawks will get Oakland’s 2018 fifth-round pick and the Raiders will acquire Seattle’s 2018 sixth-rounder and Lynch, once he’s completed his physical and the trade becomes real.

Seahawks G.M. John Schneider and Raiders boss Reggie McKenzie used to work together in Green Bay, and the familiarity made the trade part of the transaction easy.

Plus, with Schneider getting Lynch off the books and McKenzie getting the kind of human shield in Oakland that may help fans forget for a moment the team’s leaving soon, everybody wins whether Lynch is a productive runner again or not.
