Report: Lynch wants a new home

Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch may be interested in finding a new home next season, according to a report from Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News. 


Though Gaughan has no hard evidence, he says that the locker room chatter is that Lynch "would not be disappointed at all if he were shipped elsewhere."


Considering Fred Jackson took over the starting tailback role last season, this is hardly surprising news. Since his rookie campaign in which he wowed everyone who saw him, Lynch has started to fall out of favor in Buffalo. His run-ins with the law have not helped the situation, and his four game suspension at the beginning of last season made Jackson the starter, and Jackson took advantage of it. As the backup to Jackson, Lynch rushed for 450 yards and two touchdowns in 2009. 


With three years left on his rookie contract, Lynch likely isn't going anywhere this offseason.
