Marshawn Lynch had told ESPN's Scott Van Pelt that he and his agents have been talking with the Seattle Seahawks about a potential return, via Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Rapoport notes that Lynch makes sense for the Seahawks, as fellow Seattle running backs Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny are both coming off of major injuries and may not be ready for the start of 2020.
Of course, Lynch came out of retirement to return to the Seahawks just ahead of Week 17 this past season. In his lone regular-season game, he carried the ball 12 times for 34 yards and a touchdown. Lynch then totaled 33 yards and three rushing scores off of 18 attempts in Seattle's two playoff games.
The 34-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of California, was originally selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round (12th pick overall) of the 2007 NFL Draft.
He spent his first three-and-a-half seasons with the Bills before being traded to the Seahawks midway through the 2010 campaign.
Lynch then went on to develop into one of the league's best halfbacks, making four straight Pro Bowl appearances between 2011 and 2014 and earning a First-Team All-Pro selection in 2012.
Most importantly, Lynch helped lead Seattle to a Super Bowl victory in February 2013.
The Bay Area native remained with the Seahawks through 2015 before retiring, but after spending one season away from the NFL, Lynch came back to join his hometown Oakland Raiders in 2017. He stuck with the Raiders for two years before retiring again at the end of 2018.
