On Thursday, April 13th, the Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland (now the Las Vegas) Raiders are expected to work out a trade for the running back, but first Lynch must re-work his contract. Per Rapoport.com, Lynch’s agents have permission from Seattle to talk to Oakland about adjusting his deal. If a new contract is struck, then the Seahawks and Raiders will discuss trade compensation.

Lynch signed a three-year, $31 million contract in 2015, which would pay approximately $9 million in 2017 if he came out of retirement. The Raiders would want to lower that price tag on the soon-to-be 31-year-old running back.

Last week, Seahawks general manager John Schneider told KIRO-AM that moving Lynch to Oakland would go “in a smooth manner,” due to his relationship with Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie.
