Marshawn Lynch’s agent: “The media took the ball and kind of ran” with rumors of RB’s return

It took an unexpected source to pump much-needed brakes on the runaway rumors Marshawn Lynch wants to un-retire, that he has already asked for the Seahawks to release him from his contract so he can play in 2017 for his hometown Oakland Raiders.

It took the star running back’s agent.

Doug Hendrickson, who is based in Lynch’s native Bay Area, talked on San Francisco’s KNBR radio Monday. Hendrickson was at the station’s studio with one of his clients, quarterback Davis Webb, a month before the 2016 quarterback for the University of California finds out where he will drafted into the NFL.
