Last weekend was the day we would know officially whether Marshawn Lynch would be back with the Raiders in 2018. It was already a pretty sure bet, based on everything we were hearing, but Saturday was when his roster bonus was due and that’s where the rubber hits the road.
When that deadline hit, Marshawn was still a member of the Raiders. What we’re finding out now is just prior to that, he accepted a restructured deal which knocked $500K off his cap number for this season, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
