Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may be “leaning toward retirement,” General Manager John Schneider said in two radio interviews Friday.
Schneider said in separate interviews with KIRO-AM and KJR-AM that he believed Lynch was leaning toward ending his career after an injury-filled 2015 season.
Schneider first appeared on KIRO, the team’s flagship station, and said the team was going to give Lynch time and leeway to decide what he wants to do, but he added that he was “under the impression” that Lynch was giving serious thought to retiring.
Later, on KJR, Schneider backed off his comments slightly, but he reiterated that he thought Lynch was considering stepping away.
