3. Denver Broncos

Perhaps the most fitting way for Lynch to leave the Seahawks and get back at them for making all of the decisions that he disliked would be to sign with the rival Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning still has a couple good seasons left in him, and having Lynch alongside him would help him even more. Denver’s running game has been solid over the last couple of seasons, but it hasn’t been feared.

Adding Lynch to the Broncos’ roster would make opposing defenses have to gameplan against the run as well as Manning. That is something that not many defenses would have any chance against, and it would give them an unfair advantage each and every week. Denver would be a completely new team, and would be even more difficult to stop.

It would be very sweet for Lynch to sign with the Broncos and get to face his former team and contribute in a Broncos win. He would still get a good number of carries, and would be able to compete for a championship. Denver seems like a very solid fit for Lynch if he has the opportunity to choose who he wants to play with next.
