According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the unpredictable Lynch
has told people close to him he plans to retire. Last month,
Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Lynch "is leaning
toward retirement."
Lynch, 29, struggled through an injury-plagued 2015 season with
a hamstring issue and then abdominal surgery, playing in only
seven regular-season games. He finished with just 417 rushing
yards on 111 carries.
The five-time Pro Bowler would cost Seattle $11.5 million
against their salary cap in 2016. By releasing Lynch, the
Seahawks would save $6.5 million against the cap.

Longtime NFL Films composer Sam Spence died on Saturday,
according to the Houston Chronicle. He was 88.
His son Kim told the Chronicle that Spence passing away on the
eve of the 50th Super Bowl reflected his father's flair for the
dramatic, as heard in songs like "Up She Rises," "Pony
Soldiers," "Let's Go Big O" and "The Over the Hill Gang."
