They may need more than Skittles in Seattle


Sources close to the Seattle Seahawks has notified the team that it's likely possible for a Marshawn Lynch no show.

I don't find this crazy because this same tactic is used by a large number of the NFL's premier athletes to settle contract disputes and get the money they feel they're entitled to.

This offseason for the Seahawks has been on shaky terms for the team and their pro bowl, running back. Lynch has missed all organized team activities so far.

Rumors have begun to circulate that Lynch is unhappy with the numbers and terms of his contract. It's also said that Marshawn Lynch could be dealing with other off the field issues besides this one.

This isn't much of a shock to the Team, because last year he skipped out on a number of OTAs. Although, if Lynch skips out on this year's minicamp he'll have to pay a hefty fine of close to $70,000. 

For the Seahawks, if they want to repeat the same season they had or make sure they have the right pieces to the puzzle, like their all-star "Beastmode" RB they should look into the issue and see what's really behind  this possible no show.

But a source of PFT has said that Lynch hasn't said anything to the team on his plans.

In my opinion, I think Lynch may be unhappy with his contract just like other top running backs in the NFL. This past season Lynch rushed for close to 1300 yards and should be paid like the other top performers in their own perspective positions.

The running back position is quickly becoming to be devalued with the league switching to the air show of spread offenses wit running backs that come out of the backfield and catch passes.

Other examples of underpaid running backs are the extremely talented Steven Ridley who rushed for over 1000 yards, which we all know isn't the easiest accomplishment amongst back in the NFL, he's only set to make only over $1 million. The best example Chris Johnson possibly one of best backs to play the game is only making $8 million, while some wide receivers are making over $12 million.

I just believe the toughest position on the field besides QB should be paid for their hard work
