Marshawn Lynch's holdout from Seattle Seahawks camp is over.
The star running back was present at the team facility Thursday, ending a one-week holdout.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported the Seahawks moved money around in Lynch's existing contract to end the stalemate, according to a source who has seen the deal.
Lynch had been set to make $5 million this year with $500,000 in per-game roster bonuses and another $500,000 in incentives. The Seahawks rolled that $1 million bonus and incentive money into his base salary and added $500,000 that had been bookmarked to Lynch for 2015. All told, Lynch's base has been bumped from $5 million to $6.5 million.
The one thing left to work out is the fines. According to Rapoport, the $255,000 Lynch "forfeited" has been forgiven by Seattle. Less clear is the per-day fines that totaled $240,000 before Lynch showed up on Thursday. There is no definitive word on how that will be resolved.
Lynch told former teammate Michael Robinson last week on NFL Network's Inside Training Camp Live he planned to skip camp in an attempt to receive a new contract. Rapoport reported at the time that the Seahawks had no plans to re-do Lynch's deal, a four-year, $30 million pact signed in 2012.
In the end, the two sides reached a compromise. Beast Mode is back.
