Lynch nearing retirement mode

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may be “leaning toward retirement,” general manager John Schneider said in a pair of radio interviews Friday. Schneider said the team was going to give Lynch time and leeway to decide what he wants to do. Lynch was limited to just seven regular-season games in 2015, first bothered by hamstring and calf issues and later missing the final seven regular-season games with an abdominal injury that required surgery. He ran for 417 yards.
