Seattle Times publisher Frank Blethen tweeted out this picture of the full page message in Sunday’s Seattle Times:

“What a class act,” Blethen Wrote.

The Seahawks traded Marshawn Lynch, who had been retired for more than a year, to his hometown Oakland Raiders on Wednesday.

The Raiders will pay Lynch a $3 million base, with a chance to make $2 million more if he gains 1,000 yards. The maximum value of the contract is $8.5 million.
