Getty Images Ross Tucker of Sirius XM NFL Radio says that he spoke with an NFL executive who told him that if running back Marshawn Lynch ends up being suspended for conduct detrimental or substance abuse after being arrested last weekend for DUI, it would default his contract. Tucker indicated that if Lynch’s contract is defaulted, he could lose $17 million in guaranteed money. When the Seahawks gave Lynch an extension last season, they knew they had to protect themselves if in fact he ended up getting in trouble off the field.
