We're not sureLambeau Field could have handled a Beast Quake, but Marshawn Lynch wanted to test the old, legendary stadium.Former Packers tight end Jermichael Finley revealed Monday on the Two Deep NFL Podcast that if Lynch had his way, the running backwould have been traded to Green Bayin 2010."We were running off the field it was halftime," Finley said of the interaction during the Packers' Week 2 matchup against the Bills that season."Me and (Aaron) Rodgers were Bryce Callahan Jersey running to the locker room and Lynch came andhit us on the shoulder and was like, 'Tell (Packers GM)Ted Thompson to come get me.'"That's the thing that you Gale Sayers Jersey deal with in the NFL. Those guys who are playing with the Buffalo Bills or even the Cleveland Browns, and they want to get to a team where they can for sure win a ring.That's why you play the game, to win a championship."Lynchof coursewas traded to the Seahawks a few weeks later.Even though heeventually wona title in Seattle, the shifty runnermayhave reached that goal quicker in Green Bay Jaye Howard Jersey the Packers wonSuper Bowl XLV at the endthe season Lynch was traded; the same season he broke his iconic run in the wild-card playoffs against the Saints.MORE: Stars to retire before 30 | Lynch, technically, is still a SeahawkAs Finley suggested, Beast Mode likely was correct in his a sumption that he would not win a title in Buffalo. Finely didn't say whether he or Rodgers relayed Lynch's me sage to Thompson, but the Packers reportedly "made a play" for Lynch in 2010."I thought it was a po sibility for sure," recalled Rodgers, who played with Lynch at Cal(via NFL Media). "He was on the market for what didn't seem like a whole Prince Amukamara Jersey lot getting out of Buffalo. And I think they ended up taking that offer based on where the pick would lie in the draft 'cause of the records."Lynch (kind of) announced his retirement from the NFL with a tweet during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 50.Finley's entire interview can be heard below.
