Marshawn Lynch Contract Details With Seahawks Revealed
Marshawn Lynch is officially back in Seattle, as the 33-year-old RB has officially come to terms with the Seahawks on a contract through the end of this season, however long that may be.
While the veteran Lynch will only be suiting up for 2-to-5 games, he will collect a decent chunk of change for his services, with a $60,588 gameday salary for Week 17, plus whatever playoff shares are eventually allocated to him.

With the team expected to work Lynch in slowly this week, there's no predicting what kind of playing shape the former Pro Bowler is in, following nearly a full season of leisure and Skittles consumption (we assume). It remains to be seen whether Beast Mode can still dominate defenses in his old age.
Yet while his on-field abilities have yet to be proven, his interview skills remain in pristine condition.
"Happy holidays. Merry New Year."

With journeyman Robert Turbin and unproven rookie Travis Homer as his backfield mates, Lynch will have to carry the load for Seattle if the team has any intention of advancing deep into the playoffs this season.
