Let’s pretend for a moment that everything breaks the Oakland Raiders’ way in this Marshawn Lynch situation. Let’s pretend that Seattle agrees to release the veteran back rather than demand a trade. Let’s then pretend that Oakland signs him on the cheap – and hopefully, it would be a cheaper deal than Latavius Murray got with Minnesota. Let’s say that all goes swimmingly. What then?
What then is that the Raiders are going to have Marshawn Lynch – likely not the man known as Beast Mode – on their roster.
Cue, the howls of outrage from some corners of the Raider Nation as well as the torch and pitchfork brigade.
