Report: Seahawks tired of Lynch’s act
It appears likely that Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will not be a part of the team next season, according to ESPN.
The Seahawks reportedly are tired of Lynch’s act, which has included not appearing at the White House after winning the Super Bowl, holding out during training camp and possibly being part of the team’s locker room distractions.
Sources told ESPN that not even Lynch expects to be on the team’s roster next year.
The team could have traded Lynch before Tuesday’s deadline but fullback Derrick Coleman broke a foot last week, forcing halfback Robert Turbin to be moved to fullback.
Lynch was also reportedly upset when the Seahawks dealt wide receiver Percy Harvin to the New York Jets after the team grew tired of Harvin’s negative influence in the locker room. ESPN reported that quarterback Russell Wilson had nothing to do with the trade, despite reports that Harvin and Wilson did not get along.
According to ESPN sources, if some players are envious of Wilson it is because of his major marketing endorsements. Team management even asked Wilson to limit some of his endorsements. However, Wilson’s commercials were all filmed in the offseason and the quarterback only earns a base salary of $662,000 — about half of what backup Tarvaris Jackson makes.
Wilson even paid to fly wide receivers to California for offseason workouts when they were barred from working out at the team’s facility. Sources told ESPN that the notion of a divided Seahawks locker room has been exaggerated.
