From Bob Condotta’s Seahawks blog:
Former Seattle fullback Michael Robinson, a close friend of Marshawn Lynch, reiterated in an interview on ESPN 710 Seattle today that Lynch is considering retiring…
But Robinson also said that if he had to bet, “my bet would be that he plays next year in Seattle.”
Still, Robinson repeated on several occasions that he has no idea what Lynch will do.
“C’mon man, it’s Marshawn,” he said at one point when pressed on what he thinks will be the ultimate decision of Lynch, who has one year remaining on a four-year deal signed in 2012. “I don’t think he knew whether he was going to play last year unit almost training camp.”
“I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think Marshawn knows yet.. … I don’t know what a timeline is, guys. I would guess that Marshawn doesn’t even really know what a timeline is. Probably gong to be a feel thing and we’ll just see like everybody else.”
“Has he had enough football? You can’t ask him that right after the season because your body is telling you yes,” Robinson said. “Right now you just have to let him wait it out, see how the off-season goes, let him get his body right again, and then you will see if he wants to come back or not.”
Robinson also said that “Marshawn is getting to a point in his life where he may want to enjoy other things in his life, other thing are important to him.”
Lynch is coming off of four consecutive 1,000 yard seasons in which Lynch has carried the ball at least 280 times in each of the four seasons.
