The 12th man in Seattle has a reason to smile this morning. Despite rumors of possible retirement, Marshawn Lynch has decided to return to the Seahawks and finish what he started, a journey to another Super Bowl ring.
According to ESPN,
The star running back signed a two-year extension Friday after meeting with Seahawks officials, including team owner Paul Allen. The extension keeps him under contract with Seattle through the 2017 season, but more importantly includes a massive raise for the 2015 season, when he will make $12 million, according to agent Doug Hendrickson. Lynch was scheduled to make $7 million for the 2015 season.
Hendrickson said the deal includes an additional $24 million for the 2016 and 2017 seasons should Lynch, 28, continue his career into his 30s.
The Seahawks announced the signing Friday night, and had some fun with their star running back, who has been fined heavily for not speaking with the media in the past.
