So when you have sports columnists for major dailies wanting us to go get him, who knows what's possible?
He wanted to stay involved in football, signed on to be an owner of an arena football-type team in Oakland. And like this columnist says:
He was productive in his past two seasons in Oakland. More so, in fact, than he was in his final season in Seattle. In 21 games as a Raider, Lynch tallied 1,256 yards on 297 carries (4.2 yards per carry) and 10 touchdowns. No, these aren’t world-beater numbers. But the Seahawks don’t need a world-beating running back. They need a bruiser who can hold onto the ball and open up the passing game for one of the best quarterbacks in the game.
The analogy that I’m thinking of is Devin Hester, the NFL’s career return touchdown leader who joined the Seahawks for the 2016 playoffs at the age of 34. He hadn’t taken one to the end zone in more than two years when he signed with Seattle, but in two playoff games, he returned six kickoffs for 214 yards — including a 78-yarder.
Is it unfathomable that Lynch could provide a similar spark to a team that needs one? Might he embrace the challenge, knowing his legendary status with the Seahawks would remain intact regardless of how he plays.
