After a disappointing, injury-plagued 2015 season, and approaching 30 years old, Marshawn Lynch is probably not going to be back with the Seattle Seahawks. Assuming he is cut by Seattle and wants to continue playing, here are five potential landing spots for Lynch.
5. Indianapolis Colts
Andy Lyons Getty ImagesThe Colts already have an older running back in Frank Gore, and a minimal financial commitment to him basically ensures he'll be back next season. But adding Lynch to the mix could make both guys more effective in a workload split, while also bolstering Andrew Luck's supporting cast in the short term.
4. New England Patriots

When it comes to adding someone another team has soured on, the Patriots can never be ruled out. They also could use an upgrade at running back, and a healthy Lynch would be that.
3. Miami Dolphins
Chris Trotman Getty ImagesThe Dolphins are likely to lose Lamar Miller in free agency, and 2015 fifth-round pick Jay Ajayi is far from proven. Adding Lynch would be just the kind of questionable and short-sighted move the Dolphins would make, even if he would fill a potential need.
2. Dallas Cowboys
Rob Foldy Getty ImagesDallas got solid production out of Darren McFadden as their lead back this past season, but adding someone else to the mix this offseason could be on their radar. Lynch has the name recognition, and at least the perception of star power, that owner Jerry Jones drools over.
1. New York Giants
Getty ImagesThe Giants had a dismal group of running backs in 2015, with no one clearly emerging at all. They also have a short window to win, with Eli Manning now 35 years old, so Lynch is a fit as a short-term fix.
