Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald is reporting that retired RB Marshawn Lynch has privately expressed interest in playing for the Patriots if talks break off with the Raiders in the coming weeks.
- According to Howe, Lynch joining the Patriots may be viewed as a long shot, but the sentiment exists.
Prior reports have said that Lynch has his sights set on playing for only the Raiders, so this comes as a bit of surprise. The Raiders recently hosted Lynch for a visit to the team’s facility and he reportedly told them that he intends to play in 2017.
