There have been rumblings about his departure from the game, but it still came as a shock to many in the league as well as fans. His teammates have been working on getting the running back to change his mind but, during Sunday’s Super Bowl game, proved it was to no avail.
marshawn lynch was a true renegade..a real life badass superhero. Unapologetically himself. Respect the beast

Serena lost, Cam lost. Marshawn Lynch is retiring. The Obamas leaving the Whitehouse. 2016 is looking like 2015 Jr.

Not sure about 2015 Jr. (I mean hello, Beyoncé) but it is a sad departure. The other retirements for this offseason are Charles Woodson, Justin Tuck and the possibility of Calvin Johnson, Julius Peppers, and Peyton Manning.
At least now, he doesn’t have to worry about being fined.
