So, again this is purely a hypothetical question. I'm not suggesting at all that the Seahawks should trade Lynch. In fact, I would love to see Lynch return for his final year and/or sign an extension, but lets say Pete and John want to test the waters and see what the going market is for Marshawn, what would be the value of picks offered?

Let's assume it's a trade and extend deal for the other team that Lynch approves.

Possible trade partners:

Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jags need identity on offense and a running game to take the pressure off 2nd year QB Blake Bortles. Would be a great compliment to Denard Robinson.

Indianpolis Colts: Could this franchise risk another trade for a physical RB to compliment Luck and the passing game? Colts would be preseason AFC champ favorites if this was to happen.

Buffalo Bills: Rex Ryan has a defense and elite young receiver to work with, but is missing the running game that helped him go to two consecutive AFCCG with a young QB. Is Lynch willing to return to Buffalo? Behind the free agent, CJ Spiller, Bills do have some young talent, though.

Tennessee Titans: The running game hasn't looked good despite multiple picks into its offensive line. If the Titans are looking for a QB with its #2 pick, a veteran RB would help with a rookies progress.

Oakland Raiders: Lynch in black and silver? It seems almost a perfect fit outside of Seattle.

I believe his value to the Seahawks outweighs any trade value he has, therefore he's untradeable. He's too important to the Seahawk offense.

I agree. I hope he wants to come back for at least the last year of his contract, but if he demands an extension or else he threatens to retire, what's he worth if Seattle chooses not to re-sign him but is willing to move on.
