New Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said in an interview with Jerry McDonald of theMercury News that he hopes running back Marshawn Lynch returns to the team next season.
"I have talked to Marshawn briefly," Gruden said. "We’ll see. We’ll keep everybody posted. Right now, he’s our leading ballcarrier. He’s our back, and we’re counting on him. Hopefully we get an opportunity to work together. That’s a man that has a lot of respect in this league as a player and I certainly have respect for him also."
