Seahawks general manager John Schneider acknowledged Tuesday that Lynch's contract will need to be addressed before the 2015 season, John Boyle of the Everett Herald reports.Schneider hinted that Lynch may not even want to keep playing, but it may be that such a decision would depend largely on the running back's contract. Lynch is scheduled for a $5 million base salary in the final year of his deal, and there seems to be little question that he's unwilling to play for that number. The Seahawks will presumably offer a raise and/or extension, but there's no guarantee Lynch will be satisfied with the offer.
