Seahawks

Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch told to Michael Silver of the NFL Network following Sunday’s game that isn’t sure what’s going to happen next season regarding his status with the team.

“Do I think I’ll be gone after this season?” Lynch said. “I don’t know, man. The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. I don’t talk too much. I just play the game.

“If they have something going on, I don’t know about it.”
