Looks like the reports turned out to be true. Marshawn Lynch is headed back to Seattle.
“We got history there. We got unfinished business.”

Lynch, who's 33, agreed to a deal with the Seahawks, Ian Rapoport reported on Monday night. Doug Hendrickson, Lynch's agent, took to Twitter to post a picture of the contract.

New #Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch passed a physical, signed a deal, and is in position to play this week in a huge game on Sunday night. That should spice it up a bit.
Adam Schefter reports that Lynch's newly signed deal will cover the remainder of the season and postseason.
Beastmode officially is back in Seattle. Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks have an agreement, and Seattle has a new RB to line up against SF during Sunday night’s NFC-West-deciding showdown.
New/old Seahawks’ RB Marshawn Lynch signed a deal for this year only - the last regular-season game and the postseason, per source.
Lynch previously played with the Oakland Raiders. "He's been working really hard," Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said while on 710 ESPN Seattle. "He's really excited about the chance to do something helping out, and I think it's freakin' great if he could get out there and tote the ball for us. The circumstances rolled just at this time, and he could have four or five games left in him. Maybe that's what we need."
Lynch wasn't the only person to sign a deal with his former team. Robert Turbin and the Seahawks also reached a deal. The signing of the two running backs comes on the heels of Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise sustaining injuries.
