Raider Nation is falling all over themselves with the possibility of a Marshawn Lynch return. With good reason. It just makes sense in so many ways, and would vault the Oakland Raiders into top-flight contention.
This Tweet from NFL Network’s Adam Schefter got everyone all excited:
Raiders strongly considering acquiring RB Marshawn Lynch, either through trade or by his release, sources tell @JosinaAnderson and me.

Raiders radio personality Greg Papa said on his radio show that same day that the Raiders were talking to a certain running back that “wasn’t even in the NFL last year,” and the Lynch rumors have taken off.
