The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Lynch was in Seattle for an event yesterday, stopped by the Seahawks' facility, more of a personal visit than anything, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Diehards Line: But Huffington Post's Jordan Schultz reports that Lynch met with HC Pete Carroll and GM John Schneider and asked to be released. Privately, with friends, Lynch has been seen wearing Raiders gear. Also worth noting: Garafolo reports that Lynch, though undecided about returning, "has the itch and is in shape." All this after reports Friday morning indicated the Raiders are strongly considering coaxing Lynch out of retirement. While the Seahawks would control his rights if Lynch unretires, ESPN.com's Sheil Kapadia believes their most likely course of action would be to release Lynch. They signed Lacy this week and have Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise on the roster as well. Lynch turns 31 in April. Seattle may initially try to explore a trade, but assuming the Raiders don't budge, the Seahawks would likely be forced to release Lynch and move on.
