Beast Mode is back.
Marshawn Lynch and the Seattle Seahawks agreed on a deal late Monday night that will bring him back to his former team for Week 17’s pivotal matchup with the San Francisco 49ers and then the playoffs.
This is all so wild and happened so quickly after the Seahawks lost their top two running backs – Chris Carson (hip) and CJ Prosise (arm) – in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals.
Lynch played in Seattle for 5 1/2 seasons and helped lead the team to a Super Bowl title. He played six games for the Raiders last year and then stepped away from the game.
Now he’s back… and who knows how much he’ll be able to give the Seahawks on the field, though he has been working out to get ready. You have to believe that just his presence alone will pump up the team heading into a game that will decide the NFC West title.
Adam Schefter had the news:
Beastmode officially is back in Seattle. Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks have an agreement, and Seattle has a new RB to line up against SF during Sunday night’s NFC-West-deciding showdown.

I have landed in Denver and Marshawn Lynch is a Seahawk again. I’m so hyped. I don’t care if it doesn’t result in anything meaningful. My favorite football player ever is getting one last ride with the Hawks. This rules

The NFL is always better when Marshawn Lynch is in it.
