It turns out the two sides still aren't all that close.
The star back known as "Beast Mode" announced his retirement in February of previous year, on the same day as Super Bowl 50 via Twitter.
The Oakland Raiders remain interested in acquiring retired running back Marshawn Lynch from the Seattle Seahawks, even if talks have seemingly quieted down of late.
"As far as Aldon and the draft, our thought process is just on the draft, not considering Aldon at this point", McKenzie said. Head coach Jack Del Rio said by "every indication he was excited to play for the Oakland Raiders". And you got it, that's the issue Lynch and the Raiders are stuck on.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider acknowledged on Monday that Lynch, whose rights still belong to the Seahawks, has been negotiating with Oakland.
In recent years, the Raiders have solidified picks in the draft before looking toward free agency, which has worked in cases like adding Derek Carr and Khalil Mack to the team.
