Marshawn Lynch will confirm his retirement in a rare interview set to air on 60 MINUTES SPORTS this Tuesday on Showtime.
The elusive running back speaks candidly with 60 MINUTES SPORTS correspondent and Sports Illustrated Executive Editor Jon Wertheim, confirming on camera for the first time that he is finished playing football.
"I'm retired. Is that good enough?" Lynch says in the interview that is to air Tuesday "Which camera do you want me to look into? This one? I'm done. I'm not playing football anymore."
There's been speculation throughout the offseason that Lynch was having second thoughts about his decision to retire, which he announced in a post on social media during the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. The Seahawks placed Lynch on the reserve/retired list in May, meaning the team would retain his rights if Lynch decided to return.
The move by Seattle was a procedural step, but it was necessary to make Lynch's retirement official.
