Not a given. I actually consider it about 50/50 he's on the team in 2016.Is it a given that Lynch will remain on the team after this season? His cap hit is pretty hefty in 2016 and 2017. I assume he will probably play 2016 under the contract, but 2017 seems questionable -- he will be 31 with a cap hit of $12.5M and just $2.5M in dead cap money if traded/released.biju said:No posts about Bobby's new contract? I'm pumped! The core of players who will be here for the next 3 years is just stunning...
Russell Wilson
Marshawn Lynch
Jimmy Graham
Earl Thomas
Richard Sherman
Kam Chancellor
K.J. Wright
Michael Bennett
Cliff Avril
and now Bobby Wagner. That's 10 players will big roles on the team. It's a good time for Seahawks fans...
Having said that, agree that is a great core group. Not sure any other team can match it.
Before people start saying that Seattle's offense will take a nosedive without Lynch, I caution them to ask themselves what they thought of Marshawn Lynch pre-2012 (Wilson's rookie year).
