For the past few weeks there have been rumors circulating that Seattle Seahawks running Marshawn Lynch was getting ready to retire and it’s probably because he doesn’t need the money anymore.
According to Ian Rapopport of the NFL Network, Lynch has not spent a dime of the near 50 million dollars he’s earned in the NFL.
According to @RapSheet, Marshawn Lynch "hasn't spent a dime of his playing money."

That means Marshawn Lynch hasn't spent a dime of the $49,703,823 (almost $50 MILLION) he has made in the NFL. https://t.co/cBL64PqsV8

This isn’t that far-fetched considering that Lynch has been extremely business savvy off-the-field cashing in on endorsement deals with Skittles while also building a clothing empire.
Have to give Lynch some props if this is true. Too many players get trapped in the NFL putting their bodies in harms way for much too long just to keep up with their lifestyle.
