Marshawn Lynch tells next generation to plan for the future

IN WHAT may have been his last press conference as a NFL player, Marshawn Lynch told the next generation of players in the league to put money aside for retirement as it “don’t last forever.”

Following Seattle Seahawks’ loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, Lynch made sure he offered advice to those the young players about the importance of looking after their finances as well as their bodies and mental health.
