The same day the Raiders lost Isaiah Crowell to a torn Achilles and brought Doug Martin back to replace him, we hear that the reports that Marshawn Lynch retiring have been greatly exaggerated. A source close to NFL Network’s Steve Wyche says that should the Raiders ask Marshawn Lynch to return, he would.Not only does this go against the notion that Marshawn is done with football, as was suggested with the reports that he wouldn’t return next year, but that the Raiders’ proclamations that whether he returns depends on “what he wants to do” for Marshawn to return may not be entirely without strings.To be fair, the Raiders also said whether Lynch is brought back would depend on what they did in the draft and they were able to land Josh Jacobs with the 24th pick. However, the situation changed once again with the Crowell injury. At this point it appears the Raiders have chosen to bring back Martin over re-signing Marshawn. One can assume that would have as much to do with salary as anything as Doug Martin is considerably more affordable.Follow @LeviDamienWatch: Nate Burleson thinks Raiders Chris Warren III could be ‘feature back’ in NFL We’ve seen Chris Warren III make some powerful runs this preseason for the Raiders. But it’s just the preseason. That fact didn’t stop Nate Burleson from making some bold statements about the undrafted rookie back.Burleson worked on the announcer crew for game against the Rams where Warren ran for 110 yards and a touchdown. It’s safe to say, he came away suitably impressed.“Just visually, as a guy that’s seen running back, played against some of the best of all time, I said to myself, ‘you know what, this guy’s gonna make the team Johnathan Abram Oakland Raiders Jersey , there’s no question. He’s going to be amazing, he’s going to be one of those guys that climbs up the depth chart, he’s going to be a household name very soon,” said Burleson.The former NFL receiver quickly noted the same things Jon Gruden pointed out with regard to Warren doing the little things like picking up the blitz as giving him pause when predicting he will make the roster right away. And as a back who is third or fourth on the depth chart, special teams come into play as well.“It’s an intriguing storyline, because I want to know where he lands,” Burleson continued. “Is he going to make the team? Are they going to try to put him on practice squad? Because if they do that. other teams will say ‘Ohohoho, wait a minute, let me pluck this guy right off the roster.’ So, I’m going to keep my eyes on him, because no joke he is that real that he could be a feature back in this league. The question is, does he have the other intangibles to make him a starting back?”Burleson added that Warren was “Strong. . . Old school running back.” Which I suppose makes sense considering Warren’s father was a Pro Bowl NFL back in the 90’s.Warren has been quite a storyline in Raider Nation this preseason. He is among those who head into the final preseason game in a bubble battle.Follow @LeviDamien
