The Oakland Raiders are strongly considering the acquisition of retired running back Marshawn Lynch, either through trade or by his release, league sources told ESPN on Friday.

For now, Oakland would have to trade for Lynch because his NFL rights remain the property of the Seahawks, as he has two years remaining on his contract. Seattle general manager John Schneider and Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie have a long-standing relationship, as they worked together in the Packers' front office.

Raiders loading up offense for Carr with Patterson, Cook and maybe Lynch.

Will he run with the same fire though?
Still in shape? Really weird.

would be a weird situation in Oakland if they have that much offensive talent indeed

Dude is only 31! Hasn't been hit in a year, has stayed in shape and has fresh legs. This is big news. Raiders might have a shot in the playoffs vs Patriots now. I think this is gonna go down. How inspired would Lynch be running for his hometown team.

Why don't they just sign Peterson? Or better yet, draft someone. It's a good RB class.
