The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... At a time when he’s considering a boycott of the team’s mandatory mini-camp and the $70,000 or so in fines that would flow from it, Lynch also reportedly has discussed walking away from the game. If he does, he’ll owe a lot more than $70,000. Lynch received a $6 million signing bonus when he agreed to terms on a four-year deal in 2012. With an annual allocation of $1.5 million, Lynch has earned half of the money. If he quits football, the labor deal allows the Seahawks to easily recover half of the total money.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT's Mike Florio, the total stakes for Lynch, when factoring in lost wages for 2014 of $5.5 million, become $8.5 million. Which is a mere $2.5 million less than what he has earned in the first two seasons of his current contract. "In other words," Florio contends, "it would be stupid for Lynch to retire." Florio added it would be smart for the Seahawks to unruffle the running back's feathers with some sort of contractual adjustment. Whatever the case, fantasy football owners shouldn't get too worked up about the retirement talk just yet.
