Seahawks’ Marshawn Lynch announces retirement in his own, unique fashion

[n2doc]

Marshawn Lynch’s run as an NFL player, including six seasons with the Seahawks, is apparently over.

It ended in perhaps the most fitting fashion possible for a player known as much for his reluctance to the talk to the media as the punishment he dealt to defenders — with a wordless tweet.

During the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl on Sunday night, Lynch tweeted a photo of cleats dangling over a wire and a “peace out’’ emoji, signifying he was hanging them up after nine years in the NFL, including the past six with the Seahawks.

Lynch’s tweet was followed a few minutes later by a tweet from Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman offering further confirmation: “Salute to my guy @MoneyLynch … It was an honor sharing the field with you.”

1. I would've loved

to see him come play here when he was younger and come back to his hometown. Then again, the Raiders' management was even more incompetent during those days, and the team is just now turning the corner as he's retiring. He might've wanted to play here as well, but he probably would've ruined his career doing that.
