Marshawn Lynch is reportedly ready to sign a 2-year deal with the Oakland Raiders, pending a physical which is expected to happen today.

According to ESPN, assuming Lynch passes the physical the Raiders and Seahawks are expected to finalize a deal that would see Beast Mode in the silver & black next season.

Raiders LB Khalil Mack is among Lynch's soon-to-be teammates who can't wait to have him back on the field.

"Marshawn is one of the best running backs I've ever played against in my short career so far," Mack said. "You talk about a player, a hell of a player. It would be a great, great, great treat to have him on this side, on the dark side."

Lynch, who turned 31 years old earlier this week, retired after the 2015 season in which he missed 10 games, including the playoffs, due to an abdominal injury.
