Marshawn Lynch came out of retirement just ahead of the final week of the 2019 regular season, joining his former Seattle Seahawks teammates for the season finale and a playoff run.
While it seemed for sure like it was Lynch's last hurrah at the time, there seems to be a chance that the running back could return to the field in 2020.
At least that's what former Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson thinks:
“[In] my humble opinion, I think he wants to play, and I don’t think he’ll want to play for any other team than the Seattle Seahawks,” Robinson said on NBC Sports Northwest's Talkin' Seahawks podcast. “I knew he was going to get bored, I just didn’t know when.”
The question is, will there be room for Lynch?
The primary reason Seattle signed the 33-year-old so late in the season was because its top two halfbacks, Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny, were both lost for the year with injuries.
However, with both Carson and Penny set to return in 2020 (although Penny's return could be delayed as a result of ACL surgery), it's hard to imagine Lynch getting much playing time.
Of course, if Lynch is okay with being a third-string running back, perhaps the Seahawks will welcome him back with open arms.
Lynch carried the ball 12 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in his lone regular season game in 2019 and then totaled 33 yards off of 18 attempts in a couple of playoff contests.
The Oakland native originally played for Seattle between 2010 and 2015, making four Pro Bowl appearances and helping lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title during the 2013-14 campaign.
