The Seattle Seahawks have had internal discussions about acquiring Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch, reports Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports:

"And though no dialogue has taken place between the Bills and potential suitors, the aforementioned sources say the Seattle Seahawks, who hold the 28th pick in the second round (60th overall), have had internal discussions about acquiring Lynch," Robinson reports.

"The match would seem to be a comfortable fit," Robinson continues. "Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is familiar with Lynch after facing him three times while coaching USC, and Lynch’s best friend – former Cal teammate Justin Forsett(notes) – carries a portion of the load in the Seattle backfield. In addition, the new Seattle regime apparently isn’t sold on current starter Julius Jones(notes) as the long-term answer in the backfield."

If the Seahawks don't use that 60th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft to acquire restricted free agent wide receiver Brandon Marshall, I wouldn't expect them to use it to acquire Marshawn Lynch.

There are several big, draft-eligible running backs (Montario Hardesty, Jonathan Dwyer, Ben Tate, Toby Gerhart) who could be available at that spot in the second-round, and none bring the level of off-field baggage that Lynch, still just 23 years old, already would bring with him from Buffalo.

Neither would be looking for that more-lucrative second NFL contract like Lynch would, either.

When the Seahawks gave Carroll the keys to the car, though, they affixed their name to every former Pac-10 star currently on the free agent market, or on the fringe of his existing roster.
