Among players with at least 500 yards rushing, Marshawn was ranked 23rd in yards per rush. He is not worth a raise.
Most people's reply to that would be that we had a terrible offensive line.pocketprotector":1e7wrccu said:Among players with at least 500 yards rushing, Marshawn was ranked 23rd in yards per rush. He is not worth a raise.

You're right. Marshawn is clearly not as good as those other 22

I think the Seahawks would be okay with that scenario also, but I think Marshawn is pushing for at least one more Year, AND a booster shot to his bank account for the next two.kearly":29r4ldu6 said:It's not like Chris Clemons checked to see if there was a precedent before holding out in 2012. It's not like Doug Baldwin checked to see if there was a precedent when he refused to sign his tender until he got a long term deal. And it's not like Marshawn cares about a precedent right now.
The concept of the holdout has been going on in the league forever and no team is immune to it. There will be more holdouts in the future for Seattle regardless of how they handle this. If a player thinks he has leverage, he will use it. It's as simple as that.
I think the real question is whether or not Marshawn is worth the extra years or money. When Clemons held out, he ended up getting a bunch of money in 2013 and dead money in 2014 that he wouldn't have received otherwise thanks to his late season knee injury at Washington. That extension was a real bummer for Seattle, but they NEEDED Clemons and Clem gave Seattle 11.5 sacks that season.
Seattle has said they are willing to accelerate existing money on the deal and Lynch did not bite, so clearly this is about more money and/or more years. Is Lynch worth that added expense when the remainder of our RB group is so strong? I think he is, but it's a really tough call. If he wants a brand new 4/30 type deal I would say no, but if he just wants a couple extra million this year I would be okay with that.

I heard one of the guys on the NFL network say that he has never actually heard of a player actually writing that check if he returned from the hold out.gargantual":mqhta0gr said:I don't see why the middle option is even there. They can either cave to him or else not. They can't hold him to his contract but also not fine him. If anything, if they cave, they will still fine him for the lost days prior to the new deal.
