Great news!
Great news!
Fair point, but you simply can't bring an aging and now often injured Lynch back for that 12 mil cap hit. It's a cruel business, but his time in Seattle is over though he'll of course never be anything but an icon to Hawk fans.timmat":2qkvedgv said:...assuming Rawls can take the pounding and not be injury prone. This is a huge unknown. Everything else about him seemed great, but it was a small sample size.

Herein lies the problem with letting Lynch walk next year, and then turning around and bringing in a different veteran. Guys like Morris or Miller are what - $4 million? We're stuck with $5 million of Lynch whether he's here or not. So you can have another veteran for a net additional of $4, or Beast for a net additional of $6, and that's if he won't restructure. Dropping Lynch really makes no sense if you're going to turn around and pull in another vet that brings nowhere near what a healthy Lynch will.Hawk_Nation":2b5nvig8 said:Id like to grab someone like Alfred Morris or Lamar Miller to help ensure we have some coverage next year assuming Lynch is not back.

True...unless you trade him for a 6th or 6th and all his salary magically disappears

Hard to call him "injury prone" just yet. He was taking a pretty good pounding up until then without any negative effects visible. It was great news that he didn't require surgery, because that complicates things quite a bit, and could add weeks or even months to the recovery.
His build reminds me a bit of Wilson, not tall, but really stocky and muscular in build. Should be pretty durable.
As for Marshawn, the team will make that call. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me much either way, but I expect he'll be gone before training camp. Maybe before the draft. He already restructured, I doubt if they'd do that again.
