The year is 2019. It is very nearly 2020. Somehow one of the most well-known headlines coming from the National Football League is the signing of running back Marshawn Lynch with the Seattle Seahawks.
This is the same Lynch that hasn’t been relevant since the 2014 season.
That’s not a knock on Lynch. The veteran has enjoyed a great career in the NFL and was even playing at recently as last season. It’s just that he’s nearly 34-years-old, averaged 7 games played per year over the last 4 campaigns, and hasn’t been effective as his “Beast Mode” nickname for the last half-decade.
