All of that sounds great, except for on thing. Apparently, the Seattle Seahawks, who own his rights, don't know anything about this:
Seahawks were caught off guard by news of Marshawn/Raiders agreement. No trade talks had commenced as of then.

There's the kicker. The Seahawks and Raiders still have to work out compensation for the retired Lynch, who clearly wants back in.
If the two sides can agree, Lynch, who retired following the 2015 season, will be coming back at the age of 30. Just yesterday, he sent out this cryptic message to Oakland Raiders fans:
I'm Thankfull!!!! Yes Lawd!!!!

And Raiders players took the bait:
Moooddddd. Yes lawd https://t.co/XvaTX3BPe0

In nine seasons in the NFL, Lynch rushed for 9,112 yards and 74 touchdowns. Putting him in the backfield, with a recovered Derek Carr at quarterback, gives the Raiders enough firepower to win the West.
