While Lynch would obviously prefer to play for the Oakland Raiders first and foremost, he’s also mentioned the New England Patriots as a possibility.

That may be wishful thinking for the aging ball carrier, with the Pats allowing the younger LeGarrette Blount to sit in free agency without even making him a contract offer.

Now the Seahawks are reportedly in talks to trade Lynch’s rights.

But if his NFL comeback attempt doesn’t pan out, at least Lynch has a viable backup plan now with arm wrestling, right?
