is marshawn lynch retiring
It wasn't just about playing in the NFL, Smith said. It provided me the freedom to study the world in a way most people don't have the opportunity to do.. Marshawn Lynch may be planning to retire at the height of his career at the conclusion of this season. If so, he will be in both elite and familiar company. Lynch will be among the quiet, private, complex, defiant men, and philosophical men, who turned their backs on riches to escape life as a high-profile plow horse.
That's just one factor as he ponders his future. Marshawn Lynch's time with the Seattle Seahawks may be approaching its end, but so may be his time in the NFL. The four-time Pro Bowl running back is reportedly considering ending his football career after the 2014 season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Lynch reportedly considered retirement after the 2013 season but elected to come back to the team in 2014, albeit after a holdout in training camp and a bump in pay. With back pain accrued over eight seasons in the NFL, Lynch could elect to end his NFL career on his own terms at the age of 28.
