Marshawn Lynch didn't play a single down of football last season. He is coming out of retirement and the Seattle Seahawks and the Oakland Raiders made a trade to allow Lynch come play for the Raiders.

He already agreed to a one-year deal and the max value of the contract is $8.5 million. The draft compensation will come in 2018 for a swap of late round picks.

In his career, Lynch has 9112 rushing yards and 74 touchdowns. He also has 1979 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns.

With the addition of Lynch, this could make the Raiders a serious contender in the AFC.
