The Seahawks sign Lynch to a 11M for one season deal

montanagiant : 3/6/2015 5:45 pm
Lynch will get $1 million in base salary, $1 million as a roster bonus, and $9 million for a signing bonus. Seattle avoids a long-term commitment, and for now, Lynch earns the second-most money for a running back in 2015 (Adrian Peterson's first).
An interesting deal...

but the way Lynch runs, I guess they're just covering their asses.
I think there's a certain amount of

"show me" on both sides. They want to hedge their risk against his inevitable breakdown and decline. He has had issues with the coaches and organization, and seemed to think that disastrous INT in the Super Bowl was the result of a conscious attempt to make someone else the game-winning hero.

He would sign a long-term deal? I think this is what he wants. This sounds totally like him.

If I were Seattle I would want to sign him to 2 or 3 years. He is the most game changing/irreplaceable player on that team.

was so much less impressive. I remember when we beat them to get into the playoffs with Bradshaw outplaying him. Amazing how he improved with Seattle
Part of the contract

was a formal and public apology for not giving him the ball at the of the Super Bowl

on Lynch in the final few seconds of the game, it's a surprise he'd sign back on with them for anything. Damn shame they didn't give the rock to the guy who really helped get them there. 3x in a row and it's nearly 100% that he scores.

More like covering Wilson's ass. That offense needs Lynch more than Lynch needs them but even as good as he is at his age I don't think he was interested in moving or in dealing with low ball offers.

yeah but i wanted him bad when he became a free agent.
After all, he is the linchpin and pinhead of their offense, so that
