The local sporting community is in a tizzy thanks to a tweet by Oakland native and former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. On Saturday, Lynch retweeted a fan who pointed out that one of Lynch’s public Spotify playlists features a song about the Oakland Raiders. Fans and media outlets like NBC Bay Area are speculating that Lynch is foreshadowing his return to the NFL, this time suiting up in the silver and black. On Friday, ESPN reported that the Oakland Raiders were interested in acquiring Lynch and yesterday morning, Marquette King, the Raiders’s punter, tweeted a photo of him taking a pair of cleats off of a telephone wire with the caption “Aye @MoneyLynch I got your cleats back 4 ya brah…” While nothing formal has been announced, next season could be a thrilling one for the Raiders.
