Report: Seahawks' Lynch wants contract extension, expected to skip minicamp

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch will skip next week's mandatory minicamp because he wants a contract extension, reports ESPN's Terry Blount.

Blount's unnamed source said:

It's very, very unlikely that Lynch will be [at minicamp]. He wants the Seahawks to renegotiate his current contract and provide him with more up-front money.

Who doesn't want more up-front money?

Lynch, 28, rushed for 4,051 yards and 35 touchdowns over the past three seasons, and is under contract for two more years. He's due to make base salaries of $5 million in 2014, and $5.5 million in 2015, plus roster bonuses.

Blount has more on why Lynch is thinking he's worth a bit more than that:

He has the most touchdowns in the NFL since the start of the 2011 season with 39 -- 35 rushing and four receiving. Lynch also has the most 100-yard rushing games in the NFL since 2011 with 19.

Beast mode, indeed.
