Seahawks’ running back Marshawn Lynch announces his retirement in his own, unique fashion

Marshawn Lynch’s run as an NFL player, including six seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, is apparently over.

It ended in what may be viewed as the most fitting fashion possible for a player who became known as much for his reluctance to the talk to the media as the punishment he dealt to opposing defenders — with a wordless Tweet.

During the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl Sunday, Lynch simply tweeted a photo of cleats dangling over a wire and a “peace out’’ emoji, signifying to the world that he was hanging them up after nine years in the NFL, the past six with the Seahawks.
