New England Patriots Rumors: Marshawn Lynch Has Expressed Interest in Pats

Another big named player has expressed interest in playing for the New England Patriots. This player would come out of retirement to do so.

Who doesn’t want to play for the defending Super Bowl champions these days? According to Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald, former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is another big name player who has expressed interest in playing for the New England Patriots.

This rumor might seem be beyond crazy, but may not be too far fetch.

Marshawn Lynch update: He has privately expressed interest in playing for Patriots if talks break off with Raiders. Keep an eye on that.

Two things stick out from what Howe has reported via Twitter on Monday. First, Lynch has privately expressed his interest if talks with the Oakland Raiders come to a halt. Second, there might be a connection between his interest in the Patriots and the future destination of good friend and former teammate Richard Sherman.

Lynch, who is currently retired from the NFL, has expressed interest in returning to the NFL the last few weeks. He reportedly met with the Raiders last week, but those talks have not progressed which does leave the possibility open of him joining another team.
