Marshawn Lynch doesn't like doing interviews. He hates them so much that he's likely going to be fined up to $100,000 for leaving the Seahawks locker room after a loss to the Chiefs yesterday before speaking with reporters. But it's worth noting that the Seattle running back did do one interview on Sunday—and that the things he said during it are making headlines today.
Lynch agreed to do a quick phone interview with NFL.com reporter Michael Silver from the Seahawks' team bus yesterday. And when Silver asked Lynch whether or not he thinks he'll be back with the Seahawks next season, Beast Mode didn't sound all that confident in it.
"Do I think I'll be gone after this season?" he asked. "I don't know, man. The Seahawks, their front office gets in the media; they talk a lot. I don't talk too much. I just play the game. If they have something going on, I don't know about it."
Lynch—who ran for 124 yards against Kansas City—was also asked about his rocky relationship with Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll. Recent reports have indicated that Lynch "does not communicate" with him. And Lynch seemed to confirm that, albeit in a very vague way.
"Pete's my head coach," he said. "Well, I mean, you know, he's really not in my position meetings…It ain't like we get to chop it up like that."
Lynch didn't come right out and say that he's not happy with the Seahawks right now. But if you read between the lines, it definitely feels like there's something going on here. And the fact that Lynch spoke to a reporter in the first place speaks volumes about where his mind is at right now.
Any chance he'll be back in a Seahawks uniform in 2015?
