December 23, 2019 The story began with a bombshell return from a crew of insiders at NFL Network/NFL Media.
Marshawn Lynch and the #Seahawks are open to a reunion, and Lynch has told people he plans to travel to Seattle today to discuss it, sources tell me, @MikeGarafolo and @TomPelissero. #BeastMode could be back in Seattle.

December 23, 2019 Lynch move was spawned because the Seahawks are suddenly sporting a belaguered backfield in the wake of losing Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (arm) to season-ending injuries in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Cardinals. Seattle also inked Robert Turbin, a 2012 team pick.
The regular-season finale against the Niners, which will determine the NFC West division crown, kicks off at 5:20pm in Seattle.
