According to Seahawks.com, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider indicated at the NFL scouting combine on Thursday that running back Marshawn Lynch will receive the franchise tag if a multi-year contract can’t be worked out before free agency begins.
Lynch has been a beast for the Seahawks and making sure he doesn’t leave is a major priority this offseason.
At the end of the day, Schneider made it clear that Lynch will be playing in Seattle in 2012.
