The Seattle Seahawks have offered running back Marshawn Lynch a contract extension that could possibly keep him in Seattle for the rest of his career, sources told NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.

Lynch is set to become a free agent after the 2015 season. If the extension is signed, Lynch reportedly would make $10 million in 2015 instead of the $5 million he is currently due next season, the final year of what originally was a four-year, $31 million deal.

Seahawks general manager John Schneider said during Super Bowl week that he “kind of” loves Lynch’s act.

Lynch had another huge season with 1,306 rushing yards and 17 total touchdowns. He has rushed for at least 1,200 yards in each of the past four seasons.

–The NFL has not yet interviewed Patriots coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady in the two weeks since the league began investigating whether the team deliberately underinflated footballs, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.

According to reports, the Baltimore Ravens contacted Colts coach Chuck Pagano, who was an assistant coach for the Ravens for four seasons, to be aware of underinflated footballs before the AFC title game.

“I heard all that — I couldn’t believe it when I heard it,” Harbaugh said on NBC’s Super Bowl pregame show. “It’s ridiculous, it never happened. I never made any call. Nobody in our organization made any call. As a matter of fact, just to make sure I had all the facts, I called up Chuck Pagano this week and asked him, ‘Did anybody else in our organization tip you off about deflated footballs?’ and he said, ‘No way.'”

“I really do believe he’s got a lot invested in here, in himself and the community and the football team,” Lewand said during an interview on WDIV-TV in Detroit. “He wants to have success in the NFL, obviously, but he wants to do that with us.

The All-Pro Suh is eligible to become a free agent if the team does not use its franchise tag on him by March 2. The franchise tag reportedly would be $26.9 million for 2015.
