Trade rumors continue to center around Seattle and the latest revolves around Bills RB Marshawn Lynch. Although Seattle has never contacted Buffalo for a possible trade scenario, Yahoo! Sports reports Seattle has internally expressed interest in Lynch.

The same article also notes that Seattle is not high on RB Julius Jones.

The Bills are hoping for a second round pick, which appears high for the legally troubled RB who only rushed for 450 yards last season.

Lynch had previously topped 1,000 yards his other two seasons in the league. He is known for his hard-nosed style with a quick burst after penetrating the first level of defenders.

He is one year into a three year probation sentence after a pleading guilty to an L.A. gun charge. The Misdemeanor charge earned him a three game suspension last season. He was also involved in a hit-and-run in 2008.

If Lynch can overcome his off-field issues, he has plenty of upside at 23-years-old.
