The Oakland Raiders’ pursuit of RB Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch has gone on over a year now. And this is a matter that’s still up to Beast Mode himself.

There were reports about the possibility of Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch signing with the Oakland Raiders last year. But since it didn’t happen last year, they were excused as rumors. And now, there are more reports and that means there’s something to it.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire and there’s a fire blazing in the Bay Area around Beast Mode. That’s because this has been in the makings for over a year now. Beast Mode has been the apple of the Raiders’ collective eye for about that length of time.

And over the course of the last year, there is evidence that Lynch wants to play for the Raiders too. But there are a lot of complications to this because the Seattle Seahawks have his rights. But the fact that the Raiders are still interested means there must be a plan.
