    He still has 3 million in dead money available. Unless they find a trade partner they will keep him, and they should. And how many teams at this point can trade for that cap number? Not many

    Maybe he wants to get more $$$ up front bc he knows he will be cut next year with the current $9M hit. Restructuring might work out for both sides.

    Any player in Lynch's situation would want a new contract, but this very well could just be a veteran player skipping a useless minicamp. It happens fairly often. It's not even training camp. Even skipping some of training camp isn't a huge deal.

    I'm sure this is also Lynch seeing the writing on the wall and basically looking out for himself (can't blame him for that) ...



    However, the Hawks have built their entire team around individuals sacrificing some personal glory for the benefit of the team's benefit.

    I could see Lynch getting traded before the season starts if he continues down this path.

    Him not showing up at the White House probably isn't working in his favor either.



    I'm hearing Lynch was drunk at the Coug during the WH visit.

    I realize he's reaching the point in his career where RBs start to really digress but has anyone seen enough of Michael to proclaim him the bonafide successor? I'd heard good things, but he was on the practice squad most of the year. The coaches didn't even trust him enough to give him carries. I hope he tears it up this year and it was just him getting used to the NFL but until I see it on the field, I'm not buying into the hype.

    Lynch had more carries last year than Michael has in his last 4. He may have a lot of talent, but there is more that goes into it than that. I'm not selling the hype, but you also have to be realistic. Lynch is a perennial Pro Bowler and it's not because of his name either. He's been one of the most productive RB's in football the past 3 years. He also played a huge role in 2 playoff wins last season.
