Seahawks To Give Up 2012 Fifth Round Pick To Bills For RB Marshawn Lynch

The October 2010 trade between the Bills and Seahawks that sent Marshawn Lynch to Seattle came closer to being finalized on Wednesday. It was announced that the Bills will get the Seahawks' fifth-round pick as compensation for the running back. Originally, the trade sent Lynch in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2011 (used on OT Chris Hairston) and a conditional sixth-round pick in 2012. The selection was changed to a fifth-rounder, as Lynch surpassed playing time benchmarks that were involved in the deal. Lynch is set to be a free agent after a terrific season for the Seahawks, where he ran for a career-high 1,204 yards and scored 13 touchdowns.

Still not a bad deal at all for the Seahawks.

 

Lynch is a beast, still a great addition

 

As long as he stays out of trouble a fifth and a fourth is a steal.

 

yep, i'll take the beast for a 4th and 5th every day of the week

 

Just hope the Beast doesn't go back to skittles mode when he gets paid.
