NFL teams have expressed interest in signing Marshawn Lynch, according to Marshawn Lynch. In an interview with Conan O’Brien on TBS (Twitter link), Lynch said that he has heard from clubs and indicated that he’d consider a contender.
“If the situation is right then it could happen,” Lynch said. “I’ve been asked the question by a couple teams here recently. Like, ‘Are you ready?’ I’m ready if y’all are Super Bowl ready. That’s what it would take me to come out and play again. it would have to be a guaranteed Super Bowl game for me.”
Lynch, 34, returned to the Seahawks late last season to join them for their playoff push. Stepping in for a battered bunch of Seattle RBs, Lynch registered four touchdowns on 30 carries in three games, including two postseason contests. He wasn’t terribly efficient outside of the red zone, however — the veteran averaged just 2.23 yards-per-carry. Of course, expectations had to be tempered for Beast Mode, considering his age and the long layoff period.
It’s not clear which teams Lynch has spoken with or how serious they are about signing him. But, in the COVID-19 era, there’s always an opportunity.
Lynch the NFL version of JR Smith. Try and latch on a great team at last minute and possibly collect a ring.
Except Lynch is a former star
Star? For commercials? Lol Most overrated running back of all time. The Fridge is a star 🙂
He is only here so he doesn’t get fined and you should be banned for stupidity.
You are a clown for that comment. Go sit in the corner and think about what you said.
Steelers in need of RB help but I don’t know if the team would see him as a distraction
Why is he a distraction? It’s ironic that a Steelers fan questions whether Lynch would be a distraction after having AB on the roster for 9 yrs.
Is he there any more? The team was purged of distractions with both AB and Bell. Which is why I think they may be hesitant. It’s really not rocket science smart guy.
TJ- what on earth are you talking about? Of course he’s not there!!
I was really hoping you’d clarify your thoughts on Marshawn being a distraction but you’re probably busy with your Aerospace Engineering course work.
How is Lynch a distraction? He shows up and does his job. Meanwhile, Steelers have had plenty of distraction-type players over the years, notably Roethlisberger. Pretty sure Tomlin would be able to handle Lynch if they signed him.
Did PFR use a picture of Marshawn fumbling? lol
Why would anyone sign a 34 year old back who hasn’t played consistently for a couple of years?
And it’s not like he was anything special last year…
Desperation? Players get injured all the time and an experienced back can be a good thing. Giants have used Devonta Freeman, Dion Lewis, and Alfred Morris this season and none of them are young.
They’re dropping like flies!
How much weed does Conan give his guests before these interviews?
Did he graduate elementary? Guess it doesn’t matter in pro sports does it?
