Marshawn Lynch talks future, media
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch said he is under contract and trying to get another Super bowl ring when asked about his future plans in an interview that aired Sunday on NFL Network.
Lynch spoke with former teammate Michael Robinson in an interview that was taped Saturday in Philadelphia.
When asked if he might retire after this season, Lynch said, "I'm still under contract. I ain't even made it through this year. I'm chasing after another one of these [points to Robinson's Super Bowl ring from last season] right here."
Lynch is scheduled to make $7 million next season and count $8.5 million against the salary cap in the final year of a four-year deal with the Seahawks. He has rushed for 956 yards this season, fifth best in the NFL.
Lynch was asked why he rarely speaks to reporters, something that caused him to get a $100,000 fine from the NFL last month.
"I ain't got nothing to say," Lynch explained. "All that is superficial to me. I just like to play football. Anytime I get the opportunity to touch ball, I feel I can be successful."
Lynch, 28, also was asked what he would tell the 20-year-old Lynch if he could.
"I would tell him don't regret decisions you make, from the bad to the good to pretty to ugly," Lynch said. "I'd tell him, 'Get ready for a whirlwind because it's not going to be pretty.' "
