Seattle Seahawks fire Marshawn Lynch
Lynch was released after a disappointing season
The Seattle Seahawks have released running back Marshawn Lynch after a disappointing season. Lynch, who turns 32 in April, rushed for just 343 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games in 2017. He also fumbled six times, losing three of them.
Lynch's release comes as no surprise. He has been on the decline for the past few seasons, and the Seahawks have been looking to get younger and faster at the running back position.
Lynch was a key member of the Seahawks' Super Bowl XLVIII championship team
Lynch was a key member of the Seahawks' Super Bowl XLVIII championship team, and he was one of the most popular players in franchise history. He was known for his bruising running style and his signature touchdown celebration, the "Beast Quake."
Lynch's release is a sign that the Seahawks are moving on from their Super Bowl-winning era. The team has already traded away quarterback Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman, and they are now rebuilding with a young core of players.
Lynch's legacy will be debated for years to come
Lynch's legacy will be debated for years to come. He was one of the most dominant running backs of his generation, but he was also known for his off-field issues. He was suspended for the first four games of the 2014 season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, and he was also arrested for driving under the influence in 2012.
Despite his off-field issues, Lynch was a beloved figure in Seattle. He was a key member of the Seahawks' Super Bowl XLVIII championship team, and he was one of the most popular players in franchise history. His release is a sign that the Seahawks are moving on from their Super Bowl-winning era, but his legacy will continue to be debated for years to come.
