Marshawn Lynch will take a physical for the Seahawks on Monday and “both sides are optimistic he is back wearing [No.] 24,” a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter).

If signed, Lynch can participate in a huge Week 17 game for the Seahawks. With a win over the 49ers, the Seahawks can capture the NFC West division and, possibly, a first-round bye, depending on how the Packers fare on Monday night.
Meanwhile, head coach Pete Carroll is optimistic about a possible reunion.
“He’ll be flying in here this morning and we’re gonna give him a really good chance to come back and play for us, Carroll said on 710 ESPN. “I think it’s freakin’ great if he could get back out there and tote the ball for us.”
Following injuries to Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise, and Rashaad Penny, the Seahawks are in desperate need of backfield help. Lynch might be a bit rusty, but he offers a wealth of experience and familiarity with the Seahawks’ offense. The Seahawks are hoping that Lynch can get back in the groove, starting this week, and help them in their quest for another Super Bowl ring.
If things don’t work out with Lynch, the Seahawks could also consider fellow veteran running back Robert Turbin.
I’m dreaming of a Seahawks-Patriots Superbowl reunion where they run the ball…with Lynch. How amazing would that be?
Pokeli,
Would be awesome… hopefully this time instead of throwing the ball 4 straight runs!!!
I can pull out my beast mode shirt. Gooooo HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s hurry up and get this done. Love to him back in Blue/Green GO SEAHAWKS!
Great signing. He’s the perfect person to run the ball in from the one
I agree can’t wait to see him run the ball against the Patriots in the super bowl and get stuffed on the goal line
If Gronkowski can’t play because of CBD oil then how come beast mode can play when he owns dispensaries in Oakland?
He doesn’t own any dispensaries. Oakland is highly regulated and doesn’t allow more than a handful to operate. He owns an apparel store there that’s it lol.
Interesting. I’m from the bay area and I always hear his name linked to weed and investing in weed
Just for my own personal Curiosity I went and did some investigation and there’s 37 dispensaries in the city of Oakland
I’m from the east bay too lol. He at least doesn’t have a store front, he could always have privately invested in some growing operations or something, idk how the nfl could even police that. Anyways, most of those are delivery services, and most of those aren’t even licensed (which is illegal now). For the longest time Oakland had an ordinance that only allowed 4 licensed store front dispensaries, I think it was recently upped to 7 or 8 when California legalized.
Lot of changes in last year or so
Oops. Wasn’t finished with that. I’m from Santa Cruz and cities are starting to race to get stuff done because they know they’re losing tax revenue if you leave to another city to go buy it…. thanks for info
I’m only here so I won’t get fined
