Didn't the Seahawks say they would block that?

they don't have to block it, Raiders have to trade for his rights. it's up to the Seahawks if they want something for a player that will never play for them again.

Carroll is a dick, he very well could just to screw him and the Raiders. Would be pretty funny!

Seattle allowed the visit from what i heard. Dumb move to nit trade a retired player for something.

I'll like it if we draft his replacement/insurance. If we rely solely on him to be the power back, won't work.

Why wouldn't it work?

Not really. The roster starts at 90 and goes to 53. You want them to play for you. Play hard.

What did you think about Latavius Murray?

I am saying seattle should trade him for picks. They lose nothing and gain something. If they block him it just means he stays retired. He wont play for seattle ever again. Not like they have a principle to stick too.

All about that action, boss

I would love to see an Atwater/Okoye hit on Lynch this season.

Dude is a douche.

(Actually, I hear he's a nice guy but loves his douche-mode)

The Raiders were actively negotiating Thursday with running back Marshawn Lynch, who has decided he intends to seek reinstatement to the NFL if he can play in Oakland, league sources told ESPN's Ed Werder.

Lynch, who retired after the 2015 season, was born and raised in Oakland. The Raiders will play there for at least the next two seasons before moving to Las Vegas.

The Seattle Seahawks still hold Lynch's contractual rights, but they allowed him to visit the Raiders last week. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last week that a deal between the Raiders and Lynch "eventually will happen."

The Raiders can trade with the Seahawks for Lynch's rights before he's formally reinstated, a source told Werder. However, Lynch would be required to be fully reinstated as soon as a new contract is executed.

A source told Werder that Lynch and the Raiders are working on a short-term, heavily incentivized contract.

So - don't the Raiders have a decent RB? I don't remember and am too lazy to look it up.

Lynch would be perfect in that organization though.

Murray had a tough season and was sliding down on production - Oakland (LA?) let him walk.

Lynch is either going to be a monster this year or flounder. I can't see middle ground.
