Marshawn Lynch, RB:
Marshawn Lynch was one of the greatest running backs we've ever seen, but sadly at a young age "beast mode" retired. The Seahawks didn't want to get rid of their amazing back but he retired anyway and said there was no way he was ever coming back to football. Then we are starting to get news that the Oakland Raiders are interested in trying to get Marshawn to come out of retirement and play for them. I honestly thought that the Raiders were for sure going to go for Adrian Peterson as the Vikings snatched the Raiders starting running back Latavius Murray so why didn't A.P. go to the Raiders which were his top choice anyway. No, it looks like before going for Peterson the Raiders will go after retired RB Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch was an absoulute monster. He barreled through guys. His legendary "beast quake" was the greatest play I've ever seen. Now at age 31 teams still want more after seeing his amazingness. This Raiders offense could be the best in the league next season. QB Derek Carr had an MVP candidate season and the Raiders would have made a playoff run if Carr hadn't gotten injured 2 weeks before the playoffs. Receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree were insane this year and they proved to be great targets while the Raiders brought in receiver/kick returner Cordarelle Patterson who maybe could make plays at WR3 with his speed. Tight end Jared Cook was great for the Packers last season and he will be a huge target for Derek Carr. Then if they had someone like Lynch or Peterson it would add in another element to make the Raiders offense insane. If Marshawn really does come and join the Raiders, other teams have got to be scared!!Thanks for reading and we will see if Lynch really does come out of retirement.
