Marshawn Lynch retiring

[PorkChop]

"I'm under the impression he is leaning towards retirement.," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said, per Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.



Little surprising, but not shocking. Different type of cat, has always stayed true to who he is, keeps same small circle from Oakland, where he goes back to in offseason. Doesn't mess with anyone else, never let money change his character, good for him

Um, he took roids til getting paid. Then no more roids now injury prone. Now not even an avg back because of without it.

LOL, The dude eats skittles on the sideline. He couldn't care less about roids. Was the same consistent runner in Cal to Buffalo to Seattle. Never dipped

Weird dude seems perpetually stoned or something to me.

Maybe it's time to focus on his charity. By all accounts Lynch isn't a bad guy, he just never bought into the whole media bullshit...kind of tough for an entertainer to keep it real, for real, but once the inclinations in college showed, it probably just became his character in the big leagues.

Good Luck Beastmode.

Good to know he's always been an obnoxious dumfuk and it wasn't the money that changed him

One of the most overrated runners in the NFL too

[pavyracer]

He makes more money in commercials. Why play?

[Killer_Demo]

More skittles commercials coming soon

[TwoWays]

I doubt those are skittles he's popping. It may just be a skittles bag.

[existential]

wouldn't mind seeing him play for the Raiders for a year or two. outside of Murray, Raiders don't have much at RB.

[TheMoneyShot]

I don't think he's done. This guy is always up to something.

[smitch124]

It's Lou's Time

[Grits n' Gravy]

Doubtful. Would have to repay about 4-5 million of signing bonus if he retires. Better off letting Seattle release him and keeping the cash. No shot Hawks keep him at current salary.

[KVB]

If they release him and he never plays again I don't think he has to repay the cash.

This may be the scenario Schneider is pointing to.

If you're not losing friends then you're not growing up. Expect Lynch to be broke within 10 years.

[jtoler]

Always respected Lynch, he's a rb who's played a long time, he's a guy kinda like Barry and Ricky Williams something in their personality that they dont really need/love the game quite like some others might not saying they dont love it but not exactly the same. Getting hit 10+ years cant be fun either, do well at your job and still negativity and haters abound. None of those guys cared about chumming up to the media either seems football is what they did not who they are.

[ZINISTER]

He knows how the NFL is and the media's build-up of a person, just to rip them down. He knows how "They" are with the power of the pen. Hope the one guys thought comes true, hope to see him in Oakland!!

[jjgold]

no RB's ever missed anymore in NFL

[The Giant]

I heard he's retiring to start his post-NFL career in medicine.

[POOLSIDE]

One of the most overrated runners in the NFL too

Lol this guy runs as violently as anyone I've ever seen. One of the most difficult tackles in the league the last few years. With that said, it's not like he's ever in mvp talks or anything so how exactly is he overrated?

[DwightShrute]

that video is great!

[RickyRoma]

Lynch never let fame change him. One of my fave players. Wish the media would leave him alone. Great guy

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Greatest running back on n SEAHAWKS history

[frugalgambler]

He makes more money in commercials. Why play?

That will dry out soon. Keeping his "small circle" in Oakland probably means he is gonna be one of the ~40% of football players who go broke within a few years after retirement. Would not be surprised to see him on SBR as a jjgold sidekick, giving out useless picks.

U have no idea that this guy has charities and foundations has a business model and has a very savy business group that is ready for his retirement don't group him because you think he's a thug far from it

[frugalgambler]

Stats. don't lie. A large fraction of NFL/NBA multi-millionaires go broke pretty fast. Do you personally know his "savy (sic!) business group" ? But he will also be getting an NFL pension, if I am not mistaken, so at least he won't become a street person. Those pensions were established specifically to avoid former players living in their cars. So bad luck jjgold, no Marshawn for you.

What I find hilarious about these numerous threads, is that a bunch of dudes spend hours discussing the lives of players, the merits of their careers, etc.; in other words, stuff that has no direct implications for the actual betting. You do realize that these people would not even shake your hand ? Pretty much all of them could care less about you all.
