No... because he was a free agent. Now he's an under contract player seemingly holding the team by the nuts.
At this point in time, this is purely conjecture on your part. There is absolutely zero evidence that this is true. Could it turn out to be true? Yea, but it could just as easily turn out to be a load of bull. The fact that fans are bitching and moaning that he hasn't signed yet, when there is no reason for him to have signed yet, is pure selfishness on the part of the fans. If the team's deadline goes by without Lynch telling the team what he wants to do and the team changes course, then we can bitch about it if we want, but until then, none of us knows what is going on behind the scenes. For all we know, he could have already told the team that he either plans on signing the deal, plans on retiring or wants to continue negotiations to get more money. We really have no idea at this point. It's complete speculation and conjecture on the part of fans and media right now
What exactly is conjecture?
He's threatening to retire because he wants more money. Despite the fact he's under contract, Seattle is offering more money to keep him happy. How is it conjecture to say he has the team by the nuts? It's a fact.
He's not a free agent and he signed his contract in Seattle. He hasn't stopped complaining about that contract ever since. Anyone would think we put a gun to his head. I love the way the guy play's but I'm tired of the annual drama involving Marshawn Lynch. Either sign and get on with it or let's move on. Nobody's more important than the team.
Conjecture - form an opinion or supposition about (something) on the basis of incomplete information
You nor I have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. Everything being discussed about Lynch is conjecture, because nobody knows what he has or hasn't told the front office about his returning next year. You are being impatient because he hasn't officially signed, but as far as you know, he could already have a date to sign scheduled with the front office. It's not like they are going to announce anything right now.
Heck, it wouldn't be unsurprising for Pete and John to not announce anything even after he signs, until after the draft to keep everyone guessing
