Pete Carroll takes a shot at Marshawn Lynch and his agent
Marshawn Lynch was a no show Friday in hopes the Seattle Seahawks will upgrade his deal, which has two years and $13 million remaining. The only problem is his head coach is not happy with the hold out. He even called out Lynch and his agent by saying you signed the deal, Honor it, is he right?
“It’s a contract for a reason. We made a decision and it was signed, by us and by them,” Carroll told USA TODAY Sports after the Seahawks’ first training camp practice. “We expect them to honor their contract just as we will. We’re going to honor it and we expect them to do the same. …
“We’ve had a big plan for a long time working here, and Marshawn is a huge part of that plan, and we made a huge commitment to him a couple years ago. He remains a big part of that plan – if he’ll show up. The same thing will carry over to Doug (Baldwin) and Richard and Earl and Kam (Chancellor) and all of the guys that have signed with us.”
There is a runor floating around that if Lynch does not show up, he could lose his 6 million dollar signing bonus. That would be a dumb move. I don’t feel this hold out will last long.
