Richard Sherman, like most everyone else, isn't sure if currently former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch is really retired.

Sherman, in an interview with NFL Media's Michael Robinson while at the latter's youth football camp in Mechanicsville, Pa., on Saturday, didn't rule out the return of Beast Mode.

"I don't put anything past him," the Seahawks'' cornerback said of Lynch. "He's about as predictable as a pair of dice. So I don't try to call his plays. But obviously, it's going to be different. We got a little sample of it last year ... I think we're prepared for it in some aspects, but you really never want to be prepared for that."

Sherman added that he's also hoping for a Lynch comeback. As for the Seahawks, if Lynch were to come back, they would likely become the 2008 Packers.

When Brett Favre unretired that year in July after hanging it up for the first time in March, Green Bay had moved on with Aaron Rodgers as its starting quarterback and didn't want to look back.

Other than the sentimental aspect of it all, there should be no desire for the Seahawks to re-incorporate Lynch into their offensive plans in 2016. The reason he decided to walk away, being a high mileage running back who just turned 30, is the same reason Seattle had to be ready to turn the page on its backfield.

The age, wear and durability issues all came to a sudden head for Lynch last season, as they usually do for such backs. When he wasn't injured, he was ineffective, lacking his familiar beastly burst.

The Seahawks hummed a lot more with undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls breaking out in '15, until he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in December. Since then, the Seahawks have brought back once-promising Lynch successor Christine Michael back twice. While Rawls should be a full go for this season, coach Pete Carroll already has deemed Michael to be at worst, a strong No. 2.

Seattle continued padding its backfield three times in the draft, putting rookie running backs C.J. Prosise, Alex Collins and Zac Brooks into the mix. It's a bountiful, versatile backfield with a lot of fresh legs. Lynch doesn't fit in that crowd.

Unfortunately, that would make the Seahawks want get him out as soon he wanted back in.

That's not to say Lynch can't call it a comeback somewhere else. The Raiders still could use a little more power running back help to spell Latavius Murray, and offer two big keys as a playoff contender that plays in Lynch's beloved hometown of Oakland. The Patriots have reportedly been kicking the tires on another veteran rusher who will turn 30 this year, free agent Arian Foster. There could be hint of interest there, but it's to hard to see any of that developing elswehere.

Sherman is right. No one can ever know what Lynch is thinking. But it's a lot easier to see what the Seahawks are.
