The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... GM John Schneider still hasn't gotten any more clarity on Lynch's future. The running back is taking his time to decide if he wants to return to the NFL next season. Schneider was asked if he'd be surprised if Lynch walked away. "You know? Not really," he said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. "He's a guy that kind of beats to his own drum. He does what he wants. He would never let you know one way or the other. There's been a lot of great running backs that have just walked away. So I have no idea."

Diehards Line: Asked if Lynch does decide to retire how that will change the Seahawks' offense, Schneider's immediate response was, "Bam. Wow," as if he'd been hit with a punch. "We'll have to adjust, but we have to do that at every position, so we constantly have models and plans for what's coming," he said. "We'd just have to move forward with Plan B. ..." Schneider said he has confidence in Robert Turbin and Christine Michael taking on the load if Lynch, who has been dealing with back issues in recent years, calls it quits. "I like both of those guys, they just haven't had a ton of opportunities yet," Schneider said. The reason they haven't is Lynch. The Seahawks -- and fantasy owners -- wouldn't mind if he continues to dominate Seattle's backfield for another year. We'll be watching for more.
