NFL: Marshawn Lynch Plans to Retire.

No its a loss.

I'm not saying it isnt a loss, but they dont exactly have 0 options either. Sort of the Lions with Megatron, they still have decent reciever in Tate (who was great in 2014 when Johnson was injured)s o the void isnt as bad.

So long, Marshawn. This is a big blow to the Seahawks, if true.

Not really. He had effectively lost his starting job anyways. Rawls was going to be their top RB in 2016 with or without Lynch.

10 years for a running back these days is forever.

I know the position puts a toll on the body more so than other positions but I also figured there would be some team out there willing to take a chance on him.

He was done as a Seahawk, there's no doubt about that.

I think its more-so that hes done as a player, its alot of punishment obviously plus he accomplished the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl. if he really cared about playing again he wouldnt of retired.

Lets we forget MJD retired last year at 30.

Seems like most runningbacks production just plummets at around 30. Their shelf life isnt very long.

Frank Gore being the recent exception.

Gore is a hofer, part of why he's an exception.

Newly Retired Marshawn Lynch Hasn't Spent Any of the $50 Million He's Made in His NFL Career

Smart man if that's true. I guess that would make it much easier to step away right now.

There probably was, if not multiple teams interested, but he retired before Seattle released him.

Frank Gore being the recent exception.

Frank fell off hard in 2014 before he went to Indy. It took two monster games to end the year to get him over 1k. He no longer runs with the same power and speed and doesn't hit the hole hard. He is still useful but definitely lost a step or two.
