Marshaw Lynch could become an Oakland Raider

[True Dough]

Whoops, I mean a Las Vegas Raider!

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Retired Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who is reportedly entertaining thoughts of a comeback, is visiting his hometown Oakland Raiders on Wednesday, and an NFL source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that a deal between the Raiders and Lynch "eventually will happen."

Former NFL punter Pat McAfee first reported the meeting for Barstool Sports while other reports said the Seahawks, who still retain Lynch's rights, have granted permission for the visit.

Lynch, who last played in 2015, turns 31 on April 22. He has rushed for 9,112 yards and 74 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons, though injury limited him to seven games in 2015, when he averaged 3.8 yards per carry.

4. Just hope his health holds up

He was having back problems when he retired.

I mean look at Earl Campbell who's style was similar to Lynch. He uses a walker to get around now.

5. Two years off, 31 years of age

I'm not seeing this working

6. Nailed It, Joey

He was unproductive two years ago. This is a PR move by Raiders to bring in a local hero to take a little heat off the move to Vegas.

7. Yeah, so they can get all the Oakland fans to show

up so they fill the stands before the Vegas stadium is built

8. I know the Raiders

were his hometown team, and I know that Bowlcut is probably doing this as a PR stunt to appease us, but I still don't see the point in ML agreeing to come here since this team is trying to bounce in a few years. Even if he does come here, it won't work with me, and it probably won't work with many other Oaklanders.

9. It's looking more and more likely

Lynch is reportedly in Oakland today undergoing a physical. Terms on a two-year deal have supposedly been reached...

10. He was banged up in 2015

He had a whole year off so he's fresh & healthy but in any case I think he will be a very good short-yardage or goalline back. All I know as a Cardinals fan I'm glad they don't have to play against him anymore (unless they meet in the SB within the next 3 years.

11. Reportedly he's passed his physical. Seattle has also agreed to a trade.
