With the 2019 NFL Draft set to start on Thursday, it appears as though a decision has been reached by Lynch. Lynch, of course, famously retired the first time during Super Bowl 50 during the waning minutes of the Denver Broncos over the Carolina Panthers. The retirement announcement was quintessential Lynch, short on words, but full of meaning. After not playing the 2016 season, Lynch decided to return to the NFL after it was announced that his hometown Raiders would move to Las Vegas. With the Raiders Lynch rushed for 1,267 yards and two touchdowns, with his final on field appearance coming in the defeat to his previous team, the Seattle Seahawks, in London last October. If this is indeed Lynch truly calling it a career, he will retire having amassed 10,379 rushing yards with the Buffalo Bills, Seahawks and Raiders. He made the Pro Bowl five times and a first team All Pro selection in 2012. His rushing total is good for the 29th most all time in NFL history, and he is among the 31 members of the 10,000 yard rushing club. With Lynch reportedly set to not play again, Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock will now need to address the running back position for the Raiders, either through the draft or through the free agents remaining on the market. With eight picks in the draft https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-antonio-brown-jersey , including four in the first 35, the Raiders have the ammunition to address the position through the draft should they so wish. However, there are also a handful of names remaining on the free agent market, should the team wish to go that route. In any case, best of luck to Lynch in his post-football days, and a hearty thanks for all that he did on the field during his career. Well, that got ugly quick. Reports swirled yesterday that Antonio Brown had been held out of the Steelers’ finale against the Bengals because he violated some rules in practice. Then it turned out he had thrown a football at a teammate at practice and then walked out. And THEN it turned out said teammate was Ben Roethlisberger. Today, word comes that Brown has requested a trade from the Steelers. Will he get his wish? The money might suggest that it would be difficult.Still, the Steelers are never one to coddle a headache like this. You keep your head down and you play, or you can go. So perhaps they would eat that dead money for the right compensation- it’s not like they have a big problem at receiver.Antonio Brown is already 30, but he’s one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and has been for some time. One of the big problems for the Raiders this year was a lack of offensive weapons, and what better way to make a splash for newly minted Raiders GM Mike Mayock than to make a play for an elite player right off the bat?The Raiders have three first-round picks, let’s say they trade the Bears pick for Brown. That would make the trade, essentially, Khalil Mack for Antonio Brown and another first rounder. That looks exponentially better than Mack for two dice-roll college players, even considering Brown’s age.So what do you think, Raider Nation? Should Oakland be on the phone as we speak, seeing what they can get for Brown? Do you think the Steelers would even take Oakland’s second rounder for Brown? Or is this all a charade and Brown isn’t going anywhere?
