Bills RB Marshawn Lynch said in a May 24th Yahoo! Sports report that he would be showing up to the Bills OTAs “within the next week”. While he’s a little late with the prediction, it appears he’ll soon be participating.
Marshawn Lynch May Make An Appearance At Bills OTAs
Adam Caplan of Scout.com is reporting that Lynch arrived in Buffalo on Tuesday night and it “looks like” he’ll be at the Bills OTAs.
Lynch has been a point of contention recently in Buffalo. Aside from his legal trouble, he’s reportedly been in a feud with Buffalo legend Thurman Thomas.
He’s also been the talk of trade rumors dating back to the 2009 season. He recently revealed that Bills GM Buddy Nix told him he wouldn’t be traded. However, that came before LenDale White was released, who could be considered a possibility in Buffalo even though he and Lynch have similar backgrounds.
It’s never good to skip out on workouts -- voluntary or otherwise -- when there’s a new coach in town. Chan Gailey hasn’t seen much, if any, of Lynch so it’s important that he has a good first impression.
If Lynch ultimately wants to get out of town (and there’s no proof of that), he’ll need a solid 2010 season to convince other teams he’s worth the baggage.
