Apparently Lynch has saved every penny from his contracts($49+million) and has lived off of endorsement deals. Smarter than he has appeared for sure. Has had a nice career and if he is hanging it up will do so without major injury and a SB ring.

I think it was time for him. He was slowing down.

Seahawks confirm Marshawn’s retirement message

A year ago, the post-Super Bowl chatter was dominated by talk regarding the decision of the Seahawks to throw the ball and not give it to Marshawn Lynch with the game on the line. This year, Lynch is still relevant, for different reasons.

He posted a tweet in the fourth quarter suggesting strongly that he’s retiring. To help remove doubt, cornerback Richard Sherman added this on Twitter: “Salute to my guy @MoneyLynch . . . It was an honor sharing the field with you.”

The folks at Skittles also chimed in with this: “Three words. Lifetime. Skittles. Pension.”

Lynch technically owes the Seahawks $5 million if he retires — unless the Seahawks agreed last year when signing him to a new deal or since then that he gets to keep the money if he walks away after one season.

If truly done, Lynch finishes at No. 36 on the all-time rushing list, with 9,112 career yards.

UPDATE 12:29 a.m. ET 2/8/16: Russell Wilson has confirmed it, too. And the Seahawks retweeted Wilson’s message.

UPDATE 12:48 a.m. ET 2/8/16: And now owner Paul Allen has confirmed it.

He needs to shit or get off the pot. And quit trying to take spotlight away from the SB and the players who earned a spot there. That picture he tweeted of the hanging cleats was a desperate cry for attention, what a bitch.

Hopefully he gets to keep the rest of his signing bonus. Since, you know, that hurts Seattle's cap room.
