Lynch reportedly pondered retirement before inking his new contract last summer only to return to the Seahawks.
Seattle showed what the future will be like without Lynch in the second half of the season with Beastmode injured, as Thomas Rawls took over the running game and Russell Wilson dazzled with his arms and legs.
Salary cap issues would make it easier for Seattle to move on from Lynch.
