Marshawn Lynch teases a Seahawks return in 2020: 'Expect the unexpected'

Sorry but as much as I liked the guy, I don't want him back unless he's an asst RB's coach or something... Time to move on from Lynch...

I don't want him either, just sharing the news.....

I figured that... I don't know why the Hawks would even be talking to him... If we're in need of a veteran RB, I'd rather have a Carlos Hyde or D.Freeman

Possibly as a short yardage back. Despite everything else, it was one of the things he did show he could do last year - get a short gain in hard yardage situations. Maybe even saves Carson some wear and tear if he's taking the 3&1 or goal line carries. He'd most likely be a lot cheaper than the other two options listed as well.

Fann Mail: Yes, the Seahawks could conceivably sign Jadeveon Clowney and Everson Griffen


We could dream, No way that happens.

Likely cost much more. I like the idea of trading for Royce Freeman. Broncos don't appear to want him and I would think Seahawks could get him for very little and he makes peanuts.

Royce Freeman was a name I had hoped we pursued prior to the draft... He would be a great fit here and quite possibly could become a #1 on our team w/ the way we'd use him... He's underutilized in Denver...

Just get us one of the two.

Apparently we cut Naz Jones. That was unexpected this early. Maybe his injuries are still a problem?

NFL's 2021 salary cap could take major hit if games are played without fans

Wow, that thought never occurred to me, that would be a crazy offseason for every team. Damn.

I will never understand the Broncos. They have two good runningbacks in Royce Freeman and Lindsay yet they go out and sign Melvin Gordon.

I'm with you on Royce Freeman. He was always a guy I liked as an NFL prospect. Unfortunately my appreciation of him came from watching him run all over my Huskies.

Going to be a decent addition for some team.



Warford, who turns 29 next month, was selected to the Pro Bowl the last three seasons, all with the Saints, after spending the first four years of his career with the Lions.

Warford has been a model of durability throughout his career, starting 101 regular-season games in seven seasons.

Don't forget though that his play decline was so noticeable they ( Saints ) wanted to replace him.

Did it ? Or was there other reasons? IDK myself.

So the Bruce Irvin contract is a $5.9 million cap hit. Which basically means that Clowney isn't coming back barring something really unusual from happening.

I find this deeply troubling and I'm really concerned that the Seahawks plan to go into next season with the existing defensive line which is frigging depressing.

Well seems like Clowney is in no hurry to get realistic about his market value or someone would of signed him by now. You feel the Seahawks should of just caved in and payed him whatever he demands?

Honestly I don't know what the right choice was.

Here is what I do know. We aren't winning a Super Bowl with this defensive line. It was one of the worst lines in football lost year and we apparently lost Clowney, Woods and Jefferson and replaced them with Mayowa and Irvin.

So realistically we are more likely to be worse next year than significantly better. Maybe Green and Collier really step up. And I guess Irvin/Mayowa will give us more than the zero we got from Ansah last year. But it seems to me that our defense is going to be pretty much the same as it was last year. Honestly, I would be surprised if our run defense doesn't actually decline.

Ok but doubt the Seahawks win a SB with this line plus Clowney either. Really would not be wise to empty the vault for Clowney.

I guess. I feel like are going to be the Saints of the last 10 years for the next 10 years.
