The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly offered superstar running back Marshawn Lynch $11 to $12 million to return for their squad next year.

The recent reports indicate that Lynch will be getting a significant pay raise from his usual base salary of $5 million if he returns in 2015. It seems that last season's Super Bowl winners are keen on having Lynch back and are willing to double his salary to get him back.

It comes as no surprise though, as they recently fell short against the New England Patriots in their sprint for a back-to-back Super Bowl Championship this season.

Rand Getlin at Yahoo Sports reports that the Seahawks are looking to lock down the superstar nicknamed "Beast Mode," offering him a multi-year contract.

The contract could pay as much as $11 to 12 million in 2015, $9 million in 2016, and could even include a third year with an unspecified salary.

Getlin reports that Lynch's representation, Doug Hendrickson of Relativity Sports, met with Seahawks general manager John Schneider at the National Football League's (NFL) Scouting Combines last Friday.

With Lynch being Lynch, any move of his is an unpredictable one, and the Seahawks have yet to know if he will be returning for them next season.

Earlier in the season, there were talks about Lynch not returning to play for the Seahawks due to dissatisfaction with his contract, trouble with the organization, and several successors waiting for their time in the spotlight.

However, Head Coach Pete Carroll was optimistic about Lynch returning. When Carroll spoke to reporters, he said that they had done some extensive negotiating and feel that Lynch even wants to come back and play with them.

The 29-year old running back remains a strong force for the Seahawks offense. He led the NFL in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns.
