Like the Sherman trade post, this is just made up bologna to attract ratings. In this case, it's a radio talk show host who teased the idea Thursday to get listeners to tune in today. When he goes on the air today, it will be revealed that this is just speculation from a few "inside sources."

If the rumours are true, and Schneider doesn't back down, replacing that 5th rounder lost for violations would be useful.

Really? Just a 5th rounder for Marshawn's rights?

Nothing less than a 2nd

It's not like this is coming from ian rappaport. If Adam Schefter says it, I believe it's real. And why wouldn't it it be real?

Exactly.

they just lost Murray to the Vikings, seemingly have little interest in AP and Lynch's ties to the Oakland area are substantial.

This is not a made up story. It may never happen, but it makes sense for Oakland to look at it. Is Lynch any worse than Charles at this point?

Do things change if they're the Las Vegas Raiders?

Clearly the Hawks have moved on. For a day 1 or 2 pick, I'd trade his rights to Oakland.

For Lynch's sake, these types of things rarely turn out well.

So many holes in this it's ridiculous to be reported at this point. Marshawn hasn't decided to play for starters. Which in case I missed something might be a huge factor. PA allowed Marshawn to ride off with his signing bonus. Those are two of the first hurdles.


When the heck did Adam Shefter become the gold standard of journalistic integrity? If I recall correctly he stated we had signed Jared Aleen. He constantly breaks stories from Glazer and attempts to pass them off as "his story." Oh yeah, and Shefter breaking this story after a local radio show mentioned it in Oakland yesterday afternoon.

There aren't any real holes at all. Just because you don't know and aren't privy to any behind the scenes talks between Lynch, Oak and/or Seattle doesn't mean they didn't take place or aren't currently taking place

Interesting point... but would they be in Las Vegas this year?

31 year old running back, retired for a year, half a season missed prior to that due to a reoccurring back injury, your Seahawk RB room is already full, and you think McKenzie is going to offer more?

AP can't get a job and Charles is looking at the scrap pile. They're all the same age, with roughly the same mileage in the tyres.

Nice thought but unlikely.

I listed the holes.

A day one pick would be preposterous. No way we're getting that.

I think absolute best case scenario is a 5th or 6th. Raiders could easily wait out a release. There's no way we could keep him without releasing other players.
