Raiders, Seahawks agree to Lynch trade

In a nice going-away present for Oakland fans, Marshawn Lynch has agreed to terms with the Raiders on a contract and the running back will join his hometown team once he passes a physical today, league sources said. The Raiders acquired the Oakland native’s rights by agreeing to trade late-round picks with the Seattle Seahawks in 2018.
The contract is for two years and $8.5 million, as the NFL Network first reported. Lynch is expected at the Raiders facility today once he returns from a trip to Haiti, where the Cal product was helping former Seahawks teammates Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett build schools and houses.
Lynch, 31, will make $3 million in base salary in 2017, with a chance to make $2 million more if he runs for 1,000 yards. That is, once he gets around to filing paperwork with the league to unretire.
