Marshawn Lynch can afford to retire: He's reportedly saved all of his salary
You want to know what's really in Beast Mode? It's apparently Marshawn Lynch's savings account.
Why is it that the Seahawks running back may be walking away from the NFL at 29? He reportedly still has every dollar he's been paid in salary.
When reporting that Lynch was considering retirement two years ago, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport said then that Lynch was banking his salary and not touching it. By now, that works out to a gross amount of about $50 million.

Meanwhile, the entrepreneurial Lynch can live off an endorsement income (including Pepsi and Skittles) of about $5 million. On Friday, he opened up a Beast Mode retail store in Oakland, California.
And given how he hardly talks to the media, just think about all the money he's saving on throat lozenges.
