Marshawn Lynch Won’t be Back With Seahawks in 2015?
By Paul Novak
We posted something last week that suggested the Seattle Seahawks should trade Marshawn Lynch before this season’s trade deadline in order to get some kind of return on the Pro Bowl running back. That didn’t happen and it looks like Lynch could end up leaving after the season without any kind of compensation.
Reports are coming out that the Seahawks and head coach Pete Carroll have grown tired of Marshawn Lynch and his behavior, with the team and Lynch having nor communication, whatever that means.
Per @MortReport, the @Seahawks have grown tired of Marshawn Lynch's ways and he's not expected to return next season.

.@RapSheet: "One person I would not be surprised if he is no longer with the team after this year: Marshawn Lynch."

.@RapSheet on Lynch: "He has a tense relationship w/ coach Pete Carroll; does not communicate w/ Carroll, GM John Schneider."

.@RapSheet: "I would not be surprised if the Seahawks took a RB very early in the draft and essentially replace Beast Mode on their roster.”

Russell Wilson is becoming the sole leader of the locker room and Lynch may be a hinderance to that as much as Percy Harvin ever was. That could be a contributing factor in not bringing Beast Mode back after the 2014 season.
.@RealMikeRob on if Russell Wilson is the leader of the Seahawks: "Absolutely...He is the leader. He is the guy that you want."

The Seahawks selected Christine Michael with their first pick in the 2013 Draft and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see them go running back early again this offseason. What do you think of the recent news coming out of the locker room that Wilson is being criticized and Lynch possibly being on the move?
