    Running back Marshawn Lynch, one of the Seahawks' most important players who received a contract extension in the offseason, has been informed he is not facing any immediate discipline for his DUI arrest, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Lynch was arrested in July, and has faced off the field issues in the past, making him a potential candidate for suspension.

    Lynch already had his meeting with Commissioner Roger Goodell in response to the latest incident, sources said, and the league is not suspending him. The NFL will wait for the legal case to be resolved -- which is likely going to occur some time in 2013 -- so Lynch is in the clear this season. Should he get arrested again, or run afoul of the law, things could change, and the league reserves the right to reconsider matters.

    Cletusaurus YES! YES! YES!

    Makes sense, considering Kenny Britt only got one game for being an even bigger goober in the offseason.
