Whoever said the Seahawks have no leverage is wrong. They have all the leverage. Marshawn is a stubborn guy. He's not coming out of retirement to play for Seattle. He can't just come out of retirement and decide to just sit at home. He would have to show up to mandatory training events or else be fined for "holding out."
But Marshawn would use that leverage of just showing up here to force our hand if this was the tactic we took.
But for what end? To get a 6th rounder instead of a 7th rounder? Who cares? Why create that animosity and ruin the good relationship we have with Lynch just to squeeze him and the Raiders?
The Raiders are not going to give up a high draft pick for a retired Marshawn Lynch, so all we'd be doing is being a-holes if we took some hardline approach to this whole thing. Dumb.
