I understand the character issues and off the field concerns. But this situation feels like a bargain opportunity for a team.
This seems like a buy low option for New England. He's twenty-four, you'll have him for two seasons and he'll likely play with a chip on his shoulder. The Patriots could benefit from his motivation in the same way they'd with Antowain Smith.

Marshawn Lynch has "zero trade value" right now, according to ESPN.com's Tim Graham.
"No matter how much he wants to posture and get his way off the team, the Bills can't get anything in return for him," said Graham. "He has so much baggage that other teams don't want to trust him." Lynch's hands are pretty much tied at this point. His only option is to return to Buffalo and play the role of the good soldier while trying to rehabilitate his image.

The guy's got talent, but no way I want him on the Pats. We're trying to build a team of like-minded committed players who are all about football, and Lynch is the polar opposite of that. However much talent he has, he has just as much potential to negatively impact a very young locker room. If we learned anything last year, it's that the Pats don't have unlimited capacity to bring in malcontents and reform them, and taking on Lynch seems like an invitation to repeat a lot of the troubles that we had last year.

Not us, but I don't see why he doesn't have value to SOME other team. Conditional draft choice based on performance on and off the field.

This is known as "bad luck." RAH
What's his history? Is it alot worse than say Corey Dillon's? I'm not defending him just asking because I'm not sure. I think I remember a weed suspension or something...
Sounds like a low risk bargain unless he's really done some ****ty stuff. Character issues can and have been overcome here with certain players.

We just spent the whole off-season getting rid of the dressing room cancer. Why chance it once more with Lynch?
As a side, I like the way he runs the ball. Direct, shoulder down. Picks up the blitz pretty well too.

Dillon and Moss both had character concerns too but were never a problem when here. A change of scenery is all you need sometimes.
Yeah I like Lynch's running style. Sounds like he could be had for next to nothing, if he acts up BB will get rid of him immediately. IMO not a major risk but you are right about this team coming off a bad year locker room wise. Probably won't end up here but I wouldn't be against it.
