Marshawn Lynch, former Seattle Seahawks player, opened up about his strained relationship with ex-teammate Russell Wilson and coach Pete Carroll during an interview on Club Shay Shay. Lynch admitted he didn't have a good rapport with them, particularly stating that he didn't get along with Carroll and viewed Wilson simply as a quarterback.
"I wouldn't be the right person to speak on their relationship because I didn't f*** with them. ... I didn't f*** with Pete, and then, I mean, Russ was just a quarterback for me," Lynch said.
Lynch acknowledged his respect for Wilson's skills but clarified that they don't have a personal connection, emphasizing that any comments he makes might be seen as criticism. "I respect Russell as a player and as a teammate," Lynch said. "Anything that I say is gonna come off as malice or as if I'm a hater. ... I'll take Russell, and I'll put him right there at quarterback, and I'll rock with him, because I have done that. But as far as anything else...no, there's no—you can't pick up the phone and call ol' boy or nothing."
He also recounted an incident where Wilson called him, but the conversation didn't go well, leading to further communication issues between them. Lynch played with Wilson from 2012 to 2015 and had a brief return to Seattle in 2019.
