How Close Are the Seahawks to Signing Marshawn Lynch?

Both Week 16 and the regular season are barreling towards the finish line …

• So why does Marshawn Lynch make sense for the Seahawks right now? Obviously, losing Chris Carson, C.J. Procise and Rashaad Penny to injuries is a major part of it. And with only one regular-season game left, Lynch’s institutional knowledge of that place will help get him up to speed quickly. On top of that, a handful of players are left from when Lynch was last in the building, meaning any of the baggage leftover from the breakup of the Legion of Boom isn’t nearly as relevant as it might’ve been two years ago.
