Marshawn Lynch has decided to retire from the NFL again as first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
After two seasons playing for his hometown Oakland Raiders, Marshawn Lynch is not planning to play football again, league sources tell ESPN.
Now, with the three-day draft kicking off Thursday night in Nashville, the Raiders have one more potential need to address: running back.

This is the second time Lynch has retired, as he called it quits after the 2015 season with the Seattle Seahawks. He then returned for the 2017 and 2018 season with the Oakland Raiders.
Lynch, 33, played for the Bills, Seahawks and Raiders in his career, playing a total of 11 seasons in the league. He is a five-time Pro Bowler and won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks. Through his career, he totaled 10,379 rushing yards and 84 touchdowns on the ground. Lynch has the 29th most rushing yards in NFL history.
Oakland will likely now have to address the running back position in the 2019 NFL Draft, as their running backs are Isaiah Crowell, Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington. They have three first-round picks and eight total picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.
