Seahawks and Raiders working out a trade for Marshawn Lynch

Let's not forget Lynch is a year removed from football.  The last year he played, he was quite banged up and had very little impact (7 games played for 417 yards).  This is not the same Marshawn Lynch that Seattle rode for a nice four year stretch.  He might surprise some folks, but a soon to be 31 year old with a recent past of injuries, doesn't seem like the optimal player to be trading for.

This. I wouldn't be giving up much if I was the Raiders.

i doubt they will have to give up more than a mid - late round pick.  Seattle is already cashed strapped and the moment Lynch is re-instated he has a $9+ million cap hit.  I think they are only like $9.5 mil under the cap currently, barely enough to sign draft picks.

so, Seattle will no leverage in this deal.  they either have to trade or cut him right away just to free up the cash they were expecting to have.

Yep, I'm expecting a late round conditional pick. Which is about all a 31 year old RB a year removed from football is worth no matter what his name is.

I'll remind you a bag of sticks would block better than Seattle's o-line.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
