Marshawn Lynch will have an opportunity to earn plenty of money with the Oakland Raiders if he performs well on the field, and it sounds like he will be able to make a large chunk of cash off of it as well.
Lynch has his own clothing line called Beast Mode Apparel. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Raiders are planning to collaborate with Lynch to sell items that carry both the team’s and Lynch’s personal logos and trademarks. The items will be sold inside the stadium on game days, in the team’s official store and elsewhere.
Lynch’s base salary for the 2017 season is a modest $1.35 million, but you can see how the Raiders were able to entice him financially. He has bonuses and incentives that could bring his contract up to nearly $9 million, and it’s safe to assume Lynch is going to sell a ton of Beast Mode gear if he is anything like the player he was before he took a year off.
Because he grew up in Oakland, Lynch is going to be an immediate fan favorite. Just look at the way he announced that he was signing with the team. Beast Mode is going to have no problem lining his pockets while playing in his hometown.
