The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo before dawn Wednesday morning.
NFL Network reports Lynch agreed to a two-year contract worth $9 million in base salary, with incentives that could reach $16.5 million. He can earn $2 million in 2017 if he reaches 1,000 yards, which one of several incentives.
The Oakland Tech High grad and Cal alum retired from NFL football after the 2015 season, but wanted to return after a year away from the game. The 31-year old only wanted to come back for his hometown team, and got his wish after prolonged contract talks.
Raiders players were overjoyed at the news before that, including quarterback Derek Carr.
Former Seahawks teammate Bruce Irvin, who has been championing the Lynch-to-Oakland cause for weeks now, was thrilled to see Lynch join the squad.
Lynch won't be a Las Vegas Raider. His contract runs through the 2018 season. The Raiders plan to play in the Bay Area until their new Las Vegas stadium is complete in 2020. They have lease options to play at Oakland Colsieum through the 2018 season.
