Raiders Rumors: Marshawn Lynch Restructured Contract to $5.5M

Marshawn Lynch will return to the Oakland Raiders in 2018 after reportedly agreeing to restructure his contract. 

Per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Lynch's new base salary will be $5.5 million with incentives that can push it up to $9.25 million. 

Oakland head coach Jon Gruden told reporters during the NFL Scouting Combine he was looking forward to working with Lynch next season:

"Looking at the film and a game that I broadcasted on Christmas night, there's no question he's still a beast that's hard to bring down. One of the reasons I'm excited to be with the Raiders is to join forces with Lynch. But we'll see what happens. Obviously, we've got to take a look at the entire roster. But I'm counting on him. I'm counting on him being a big part of our football team."

The Raiders also signed free-agent running back Doug Martin to a one-year deal last week. 

Lynch came out of retirement last year to sign with the Raiders. The 31-year-old had 891 rushing yards with seven touchdowns on 207 carries in 15 starts.
