Raiders restructure Marshawn Lynch’s contract, freeing up more cap space

When Marshawn Lynch came to the Oakland Raiders last season, it was quite the homecoming for him. He ended up leading the team in rushing yards, and really finished his first season in the Silver and Black on a high note, showing classic Beast Mode runs over the last seven games.

As he headed into his first offseason with the team, many questioned whether or not he would be back with the team. All of those questions were answered when he received his $1 million signing bonus last week, and on Wednesday, Oakland restructured his deal to be more cap friendly this season.
