The 34-year-old free agent running back told
ESPN's Scott Van Pelt on Monday that his agent is engaged in
discussions with the Seahawks about a possible contract.
"Well, it's almost on that 'expect the unexpected,'" Lynch said.
"But just as far as right now, what I do know is, I'mma keep it
solid. My agent (Doug Hendrickson) has been in talks with
Seattle, so like I said, we'll see what happens. If it works out
and I get back up there, it is what it is. And if not, (bleep),
I'm lookin' good. So I ain't really trippin' too much."
Lynch ended his second retirement from the NFL in December when
he joined the Seahawks for the regular-season finale against the
San Francisco 49ers. He ran for 34 yards and a touchdown on 12
carries in Seattle's 26-21 loss.
In two subsequent playoff games, Lynch carried the ball 18 times
for 33 yards and three touchdowns.
Lynch initially retired after the 2015 season, when he was
limited to 417 rushing yards and three TDs in seven games with
the Seahawks.
He came out of retirement to play for his hometown Oakland
Raiders in 2017, amassing 891 rushing yards and seven scores in
15 games that year. Lynch played another six games for Oakland
in 2018 before landing on injured reserve due to a groin
ailment, prompting his second retirement.
Lynch began his career by playing three-plus seasons with the
Buffalo Bills, who selected him 12th overall in the 2007 draft.
In 149 NFL regular-season games (135 starts), he has 10,413
yards and 79 touchdowns on 2,453 carries (4.2 yards per
attempt).
Lynch is a five-time Pro Bowl performer, and he made the All-Pro
team in 2012 when he gained a career-high 1,590 rushing yards
for the Seahawks.
