When we last saw Marshawn Lynch, he was peddling Skittles in Scotland, literally.
Lynch, aka “Beast Mode”, appeared to be happy away from the football field, working on projects for EA Sports, Skittles and his own clothing line. But lately rumors have been swirling that he’s un-retiring, and would be suiting up for the Black and Silver of the Oakland Raiders, who are destined for Las Vegas.
According to Ian Rappaport, it appears that things are headed in that direction.
On Marshawn Lynch: My understanding is that meeting with Jack Del Rio is the final hurdle. If the #Raiders coach signs off, dominoes fall.

Retired RB Marshawn Lynch did, in fact, tell #Raiders he intends to un-retire and play again, I’m told. It’s a long process, tho #BeastMode.

Lynch visited the Oakland Raiders facility today and allegedly told the Raiders he was ready to play, but things are not as simple as Lynch coming and back and signing papers. The Seahawks will make sure of that.
More to come on this developing situation.
